That looks right.  If you can disable the built-in COM2 and get the modem
to configure as COM2, that might be worth a shot.

The problem might also be the state of the clocal flag for the port;
if you test the port with cu, make sure you have cu properly configured
to regard tty01 as a hardwired port that needs modem control ignored.
Throw something like this in /etc/uucp/port:

	port tty1-dir
	type direct
	carrier false
	device /dev/tty01
	speed 38400
	#speed-range 300 38400

(There may be other configuration work needed; it has been a long time
since I last fiddled with my uucp configuration.)
