Sorry, try wvdialconf (it's the configurator that looks for modems).
pppconfig also tests serial ports for modems and has worked for me.

I don't think /dev/modem is a true device in the sense of /dev/ttyS0.
On my laptop /dev/modem is a symbolic link to the correct serial device,
which for me is /dev/ttyS2.  As root:

ln -s /dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem

If you're wondering which ttyS* has a modem attached to it, try running
wvdial.  It does an excellent job of detecting modems (in my experience).

Hope this helps!
