what name does com1 rs232 get in F16+ ?

[Fernando Cassia]

I have a server with a good old rs232 port, namely com1 in the win32 / os2
world.
I have plugged a good old real external modem (not winmodem) -a Zoltrix V90
56k- via db9 rs232 cable to the com1 port.

On Fedora 16+ I get no /dev/modem device at all. Why this?

If I fire up kppp and select the modem tab, under port I get a long list of
meaningless names like
/dev/noz0
/dev/noz1
/dev/noz2
/dev/noz3
/dev/ttyl0
/dev/ttyl1
/dev/ttyl2
/dev/ttyl3
/dev/ttyACM0
/dev/ttyACM1
/dev/ttyACM2
/dev/ttyACM3
/dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS3

So... is there any app/script out there that can save me the hassle of
trying one by one and find a modem that answers in the com1 port?
I really don' t want to know what meaningless name F16+ assigns to the
port... just give me a good old /dev/modem...
