Thanks jmc and Nick ;-)
reading the man page for bios, I saw that it can also be tuned by flags,
so I tried 0x5 and it worked !
Now the modem is correctly identified as (I quote from dmesg):

....
pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0/2 iomem 0xd0000/65536
pcic0 controller 0: <Intel 82365SL rev 2> has sockets A and B

...

I don't know what the lines ending in "powerdown audio" mean...,
but now comes my next question  :-\
What is the device file for accessing the pcmcia modem in question?
Is it something like /dev/cuaXX or /dev/ttyXX ? Because I tried minicom
with several of them (XX = 00, 01, 02) and didn't get any response.
(In linux it's /dev/ttyS2)
