AFAIK, an ACM compatible USB modem should show as /dev/ttyACM0. 
Look at dmesg output or /var/log/messages after 
connecting/powering on your modem. You should see the device 
name assigned by the system.

/dev/modem is a symbolic link to your real modem device. You must 
create that by yourself after identifying the correct device 
name.
