Erm... "seen by FreeBSD"? I have never noticed something
like that. The OS "sees" the _serial port_ devices and assigns
a device in /dev, but the modem itself does not cause any further
action.

I've been using an Elsa Microlink serial modem in the past.
By the time the serial subsystem in FreeBSD changed, I didn't
use it anymore, but I assume /dev/cuau0, /dev/cuau0.init and
/dev/cuau0.lock should be present when the serial port is
configured correctly. See "man 4 sio" for details.

A ppp "session protocol" would also be interesting for
diagnosis purposes.
