On the Tecra 8000, the built-in modem is apparently attached as an ISA
device, and the ltmdm code in the port doesn't detect it.  A few months
back, WATANABE Kiyoshi and I corresponded about this, and he provided an
alpha release of a new version that detected the modem and worked.
That code may not have made its way into the port yet.  (I've added his
address to this message.)

The modem in the 8100 may also be different from the 8000, at least in
the connection details.

Since it's not mine to release, I can't provide the patches.  However, I
can provide the configuration data that works with my Tecra 8000 modem:

In /usr/local/etc/ltmdm/ltmdm.conf:

hw.ltmdm.enable_isa_nonpnp=1
hw.ltmdm.irq=3
hw.ltmdm.com_addr=0x2f8
hw.ltmdm.base_addr=0x1c00

In the BIOS settings:

Configuration: All Devices
Built-in Modem = COM2(2F8H/IRQ3)
