Hmm. Anytime I've seen it, /dev/modem is a symlink to /dev/ttySx

Your modem is on a serial port, right? Which one? Once you know that,
all you have to do is either use the device directly (use /dev/ttySx
instead of /dev/modem) or create the symlink manually:

ln -s /dev/ttySx /dev/modem

If you are missing /dev/ttySx completely, have a look at the MAKEDEV
script in /dev
