Tim,

Do you have a serial port on your computer? If you do, somewhere in 
dmesg it should be telling you that your modem was moved to a different 
port. Below is the out put from my computer:

donaldj ==> dmesg |grep "^sio"
sio0: <3COM PCI FaxModem> port 0x1490-0x1497 irq 3 at device 10.0 on 
pci0
sio0: moving to sio4
sio4: type 16550A
sio0: <Standard PC COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0
sio0: type 16550A
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled

Also, look at /dev for more than cuaa0

donaldj ==> ll /dev | grep cua
crw-rw----  1 uucp     dialer    240, 128 Jan  1 09:55 cuaa0
crw-rw----  1 uucp     dialer    240, 132 Jan  1 09:55 cuaa4
crw-rw----  1 uucp     dialer    239, 160 Jan  1 09:55 cuaia0
crw-rw----  1 uucp     dialer    239, 164 Jan  1 09:55 cuaia4
crw-rw----  1 uucp     dialer    239, 192 Jan  1 09:55 cuala0
crw-rw----  1 uucp     dialer    239, 196 Jan  1 09:55 cuala4

I'm not totally useless,
I can be used as a bad example.
