Just upgraded my Dell Latitude 2.4 Ghz laptop to Kubuntu 6.10 - modem wouldn't work (had previously worked with Kubuntu 6.06).

While monitoring the system log, I inserted the modem, and saw that it was being mapped as ttyS1 (com1 port MUST be enabled in BIOS!).

I then created the link below:

sudo ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem

Now all is well -

Great modem - have used it for over a year on various versions, with no issues.

I do use the s17 command to set the maximum speed that it tries to connect at - otherwise, it takes too long and times out.
