Got it! I had installed various PnP tools for Linux to access the
modem, but couldn't connect to the serial lines. It turned out that in
the process of adding/removing jumpers, adding/removing drivers,
etc. under Win95, the !@#$ Plug n' Pray had disabled the serial lines
in the BIOS. I was able to connect to the modem with Linux at one
point days ago and had not directly touched the BIOS, so it was
clearly the Win95 re-configuration that had messed with it.  A Linux
hacker over my shoulder suggested altering the settings there,
whereupon I discovered the problem and fixed it.
