Hi,
Did you check if /dev/modem is a symlink to the com where your modem
is installed?
If you have 2.0.x kernel:
/dev/cua0 com1
/dev/cua1 com2
....
If you have 2.1.x or 2.2.x kernel:
/dev/ttyS0 com1
/dev/ttyS1 com2
....
So if your modem is on the com1 (under dos), you should have
/dev/modem pointing on /dev/cua0 or /dev/ttyS0 depending on your
kernel version
Another possibility:
During kernel compilation, did you compile PPP (in the kernel or as
a module)?
If not, you must re-compile your kernel to make it work :(
