Unlike linux, the information from "setserial" isn't needed at all --
your kernel figures out for you what port the serial controller is on
without any help from the user, and the irq and such as well. In other
words, you don't need to do any of this. :)

What you can do, just to verify that there is no problem, is do a
"dmesg | egrep ^com" to verify that the serial port is in fact
configured properly.

In a more abstract sense, you might want to learn how to build kernel
config files for kernel customization, which can impact how things
like indirect bus probes work, but I don't think you need to know
about that to get ppp working.
