First you might need one of my latest 2.4.x trees for this modem to
work.
Then try /dev/ttyS0 and let the modem settle down about 3 seconds
before using it.
Finally be happy you don't have one of these new titanium powerbooks,
Apple had the stupid idea of replacing the serial modem with an USB
based softmodem for which I'm afraid we may not see the light of an
opensource driver anytime soon :(

Ben.
