Help with USR Sportster 33.6 modem, RedHat Linux 4.1

After mastering SunOS installations, I decided to install Linux on my
home machine. It's RedHat 4.1, and I've installed HylaFAX v4.0pl1. The
compiler is gcc-2.7.2.1: the modem is a USR Sportster 33.6 V.34
internal.

I cannot access the modem *at all* with anything, such as kermit,
HylaFAX, dip, or other utilities. Kermit will open the line on
/dev/cua0 but I see no responses whatsoever. Under the Win95 system,
it is COM2, but the *only* line that will even let me connect is
/dev/cua0, not /dev/cua[123].

Does anyone know what the problem is? Linux hardware and system
subtleties are new to me, and all my MIT friends are out of town.
