I think that pppconfig might set a /dev/modem link if you choose to use it to install via modem in base-config, but in general yes, new installs have no /dev/modem link. Probing for modems is a rather risky business that has been known to turn off UPSes and do other fun stuff, I don't think the installer wants to go there. I don't understand what a modem has to do with a serial console BTW. -- see shy jo
