Just confirmation that I definately am experiencing the very same
problem with a 16450 based modem.  (My other 16450 based serial ports
work great.)  I find it interesting that the kernel found your modem
the first time.  My modem is a Telepath, also 14.4kbps.

For the doubters:
- I've checked the manual settings against the jumpers and am at
com3(3e8) on irq5
- I've confirmed the settings using the QModem dos com program and it
agrees that I am running on com3 set at 3e8 on irq5
- InfoPlus agrees
- I've moved the modem to and from several com ports and irqs,
including the same settings that are working with my other serial
ports.
- I've recompiled the kernel, after taking out numerous drivers I
don't need.

After all that the modem is *still* still not being recognized by the
bootup probe.  :-/

Sigh....tomorrow is another day.
