I am not an expert at modems, but if your system has an AP card (the
panel is connected to two cards using a "Y" cable) then only two of
the ports (1M and 2M) are modem compatible.  A non-AP mux should
allow for modems on all ports.

Also, the console is configured as a hardwire while your modem should
be configured call-in/call-out.  See the mksf man page for details.
