Two beeps means cardmgr has identified the card and
installed the appropriate modules.  You should also 
get two beeps when you execute:  /etc/pcmcia/start

The fact that the modem is correctly identified and
connected to /dev/ttyS1 means the computer and cardmgr
have done their jobs.  If your modem is failing, the
fault probably lies with the modem hardware (including 
cable) or with operator error (eg misconfigured dialer).

When that laptop died, was the PCMCIA modem plugged in?
If so, the failure of the modem could be related to the
death of the laptop.
