Hi,

your modem is not recognized according to these details - and the ttyS3 
points to COM4 which might (by default) conflict with ttyS1 (COM2).

If your modem has a PNP jumper to enable or disable - then disable it and put 
it for example or COM2 IRQ 3 and disable in your BIOS the COM2 port, then 
symlink /dev/modem to ttyS1 (e.g: rm /dev/modem ; ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem)

If it can be only PnP mode (god help us) then you'll need to use (as root) 
"pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf" and set it manually to an available port and IRQ 
and run isapnp to use this file (I haven't played with this for a very long 
time, so I don't remember all the details)..

Other distributions (specially Mandrake) knows how to deal with this 
automatically (I think Redhat 7.2 also), so I don't know about Slackware.
