I tried pppconfig. It did not fix the problem. When it ask for auto find of modem I said yes and it did not find a modem. It said that it was probing ttyS0 and than can back with Manuel preselect, which the text said that it preselect it because it could not find a modem.

In Windows, my modem is on COM2, which should be ttyS1. I enter that manuelly into the pppconfig and it still did not work.

I try the command dmesg. I am new to linux so I am not sure what all of these means but it looks as if Linux found only on port ttyS0 and did not find the ttyS1, where my modem is. Is my understanding correct about this? The output is down below.

I try command setserial /dev/ttyS1. I got an output that it does not know what the UART is. What is the UART anyway?

Here is the output of setserial:
/dev/ttyS1 UART: unknown, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ:3

Here is the output of dmesg:
