The NotePC (there are at least two types with 166MHz)?  Or a
desktop machine?

On a VAIO PCG-723 (166MHz NotePC, A4 format), I use
/dev/ttyS1 for the builtin modem.

I have some problems, though. The internal modem seems to
make trouble when I simultaneously use an Accton PCMCIA
Ethernet card.  (And funnily this card is never recognized
during booting (or when inserted first), but only after
ejecting it and plugging it into *the other* PCMCIA slot.)
