The device symlink created by the martian-modem daemon (/dev/ttySM0 by
default) can be set within /etc/default/martian-modem.  Adding
"DEVICE=/dev/modem" to this file should provide your expected behaviour,
after the martian-modem daemon is restarted.

Alternatively, adjust your PPP dialer application to use /dev/ttySM0.
