I've purchased what is marketd as a hardware modem.  I installed it an
am not seeing a ttyS1 associated with it.

lspci output:
00:10.0 Communication controller: Intel Corp. 536EP Data Fax Modem
        Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1000
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 12
        Memory at e5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
        Capabilities: [e0] Power Management version 2


dmesg output:

[root at SAM-devel root]# dmesg | grep tty
Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/md0 console=ttyS0,115200
ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A


ttyS0 is the standard serial port.  

Is this really a hardware modem?

Here is the device:
