Make sure you configure your kernel for both umodem and ucom.

I have a Zoom V90 USB Faxmodem, Model 2986L, that is recognized in 
FreeBSD 4.10 Stable and 5.2.1 Release as ucom0.  I haven't used it on 
these machines before, so I tested the following on FreeBSD 4.10 
desktop:

	> cu -l/dev/ucom0 -s57600
	Connected.

Use at your own risk.

Best of luck,
