It is not the ucom endpoint -- it is some mass-storage endpoint that
your modem seem to implement too.  Or you showed us not all dmesg parts
that are related to your CDMA modem.  Do you have /dev/cuaU* devices?
For the reference, mine CDMA modem attaches with the following dmesg
(it's not U727, but it is CDMA modem that is supported by ucom):
-----
ucom0: <CMOTECH CO., LTD. CMOTECH CDMA Technologies, class 2/0, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 2> on uhub5
ucom0: iclass 2/2
ucom0: data interface 1, has CM over data, has break
ucom0: status change notification available
----

So, the basic questions are:
- had you compiled-in/kldloaded the ucom module?
- do you have ucom-related messages in dmesg?
- you might also need modules 'uplcom' and/or 'umodem' -- try them.
