My experience was that the serial worked fine as long as you didn't
do anything other than use it in console mode at 9600 baud.

I am surprised that the modem works, as it is essentially a device that
hangs off the serial port.  (i.e. there is no modem driver, as far as
I know, just the serial driver)

If you have the modem working - at all - that would be good news.

Pppd is broken in 1.5 for dial-in, but I don't remember whether it works
or not with dial-out.  (There are PRs for the problems...)
