Depends on your TA.  I can tell you how to do it on an AIWA TA, but NECs
probably use different command sequences.  Look in your TA manual.  Better
yet, look at the files on your TA's driver disk.  I think the .inf files
or something contain in plain-text the initstrings used by the windows
drivers.  I don't read Japanese that well, so this is how I ripped the
init string for my TA under Linux.

Hey, there's an idea, have turbonetcfg parse Windows .inf files so that
your win95 driver disks can be used to set up stuff in Linux.  Hmm... :)

Assuming you have standard serial support in there, you're fine.  If your
analog modem works, your kernel is configured correctly.
