I'd try: 
1. shut down the computer
2. disconnect the modem
3. boot it up
4. shut it down
5. reconnet the modem
6. boot up again, see if kudzu notices it this time.
If not, it's no big deal, just create your own /dev/modem pointing to
the real serial port. e.g., if the modem is on com2 (/dev/ttyS1), do:
	ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem
while logged in as root. Voila!
