Re-send with more information on Modem installation problem- list port fail in admintools

Question

Background:
If admintool can set serial I could have set it with a click.
The error is "list port fail in "
I have following many example including Celeste (stokey.com), I am totally lost with her instruction. I am a new-hand in SUN SOLARIS 8 INTEL. NEED good guidance and helping to set up an external Zoom 56 K modem on com 1.
==============================================================
I was suspect a lot of work from internet is a copy of another.
===============================================================
#sacdm -l t ttymon
get:
zsmon ttymon - 0 ENBALE /usr/lib/saf/ttymon
#pmadm -l
get:
no service defined.
There is no cua * under /dev
These is nothing under /dev/term
I have a number of error with the following script and I can screen-print and copy and then paste here.
There are problem with the cua and term/$port.
SO please help and guide.

The lack of /dev/cua etc is worrying - apparently there is an ACPI
bug with certain BIOSes which means certain device nodes are not created (often floppy, printer, serial). Turning off ACPI in the BIOS if this option exists on your HW, followed by a reconfiguration boot (b -r) should help. When you have the device nodes in place, the guidance from Stokeley should work - you might also check the
