I have a new notebook with no serial ports and a useless winmodem. I have
a Keyspan USB to Serial converter which according to the kernel notes is
supported. How do I configure an external modem using the USB to serial
converter on Fedora Core 2?

Forget it. The Keyspan USB converter is not a real RS232 interface, and it
cannot cope with data rates above a crawl. I have the same unit, and I have
done extensive testing.

Buy a serial modem.

I got it working, it's trivial. The device is /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 use that
instead of the choices that the modem control panel presents you and
everything works.
