Unless I am missing something, the modem at the start of the thread is USB and not serial, and so would need a driver other than the serial-port driver.

The Conexant USB modem was introduced in post #3, confusing the issue. Imho, ./getinfo.sh was irrelevant here. Sorry. :-(

Seems to be ample confusion to go around, with the moving target.

Without wanting to sound picky, I don't see much of a moving target here.
The original question was crystal clear, only when ./getinfo.sh showed there also was a built-in modem the attention suddenly shifted. But that built-in modem was never a subject of the original query. Funny thing is that even the OP got distracted, which is why the thread went off-course, even off-topic, one might argue.

Getting back to the original question (the OP appears to have vanished), am I correct in assuming that whatever application needs to use that modem can just use the correct serial port and not need any type of driver for that external modem?

Skipping any further diversions into semantics... :-)

If it is an old-style external RS-232 serial modem, then AFAIK all it needs as far as a driver to access it is the serial port driver.
