Possibly it's looking for a "/dev/modem" in which case try making a link to the /dev/usb/acm/0 device.
In the kernel doc sections see: file:/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.21/usb/ acm.txt
I followed your suggestions, Larry, and created the /dev/modem directory and put in a link to /dev/usb/acm/-0. I checked through acm.txt (a very helpful file, thank you for pointing it out to me). There were some problems in /proc/bus/usb/devices -- mostly that everything for the modem pointed to "hub" instead of "acm" or "comm" or "data".
I decided to reboot just to be sure my changes had propagated throughout the system. When I looked again, they had and /proc/bus/usb/devices read correctly (for all three usb devices, as a matter of fact -- it found my scanner that time as well as the external floppy disk drive and modem).
Since I'm not familiar with minicom, I tried drakconnect to see if I could get any further than the last time I tried to set up a connection with it. I did.
It actually found both the usb modem and the winmodem and proceeded to install and configure KPPP. However, when testing the configuration, it failed to open the modem. There were only two choices for modem in the setup -- /dev/modem and /dev/ttyACM0. It had tried /dev/modem, which failed, so I changed to /dev/ttyACM0. That also failed. I returned to my ms-win partition to write this and found Charlie's message.

It appears that there is a driver acm for this? Probably a module?
Try KDE, do you use that?
I can use KDE, but I'm mostly in Gnome because there are a couple of Gnome applets that I like a lot that only work in Gnome, whereas all the KDE utilities that I like will work in Gnome also. KPPP works in Gnome.
KPPP/Setup/Device/Modem dev/usb/ttyACMO
Note the "usb"
I didn't see a way to add /dev/usb/ttyACM0 to the KPPP/Setup/Device/Modem list, and I almost was going to respond and say that immediately. Why I decided to return to Linux and try the two modems listed again, I can't tell you.
However, when I returned to Linux, the list of modems had grown to include all kinds of devices that I'm sure are not there. There still was no /dev/usb/ttyACM0, but a device I knew was physically on the system had now shown up -- /dev/usb/acm/-0 -- and I connected.
There were still a few more problems, but they were trivial once I got the system to talk to the modem and dial out.
Thank you both for your responses, and especially you, Larry, for your patience in working with me on this.
