Serial numbers don't really matter. What you want is to write down the part numbers on all the chips (ie big black things, not other little components). Send them to the list. Someone here is bound to recognize the manufacturer's abbreviation at the beginning of the number and know where to look to find a data sheet on the part. For example TI is Texas Instruments and NS could be National Semiconductor. Also try using minicom. It won't get you on the internet, but it can tell you if the modem works or not. -D
