I have no uppercase TTYs in my /dev directory. Have never heard of such? 
Perhaps earlier in your attempts to get the modem working you manually 
created these device files?

This command, executed as root from within the /dev directory, should 
create the standard tty device files:
	./MAKEDEV std

Then I'd try minicom and play with the COM port settings; after each 
change, try dialing your cell phone with something like
	ATDT555-555-1234
When you hear the modem dial out and/or your cell phone ring, you know 
you're on the right COM port.

(You can hang up the modem with ATZ.)
