PCI devices aren't usually PNP. Check to make sure there aren't jumpers
on the card. Make sure the PCI slot is enabled in the BIOS. Read the
Modem HOWTO in the LDP. Edit pnp.conf and un-comment out the port
settings. Make sure you are using the correct device when using your
dialer.
Just a few things to check and get you going without knowing more.
