As Ron suggested, better look at dmesg messages.
- If the device is not detected, it will (not) be there.
- If the device is detected but has problems for being setup, it will be
there.
- If the device is properly detected and configured, it will also be
there.

USB modems should fall under "/dev/ttyUSB0"

Don't go nuts with this. Just plug the modem, open a console, type "dmesg
| grep -i usb" and put the result here (for very long logs, upload the
result to "www.pastebin.com" or any service like that) :-)
