If this is a standard sort of modem it ought to look like a serial port
to the system. Have you tried using it as a serial port to see if that 
works? I found that I could use an IBM 2400 baud modem on my P70 by 
just using the reference diskette to make the modem SERIAL_1 and the
serial port SERIAL_2. I don't need both at the same time so this has
solved the problem for me for now. Someday I'll have to find out how to
use both at the same time, or go thru the bug reporting procedure if it
doesn't turn out to be feasible. Anybody figured it out?

Once configured as SERIAL_1 then tty0 worked fine as the modem - I
could use ATE and CU to dial into remote systems without any problems.
