Yes, /sbin/hotplug is called with the id but not the minor number. So I
do not know how can I make a program open the new serial port on 2.4.

Using 2.4:( Parsing the kernel log entries seems possible for 2.4 as
well. /sbin/hotplug knows the following info:
DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/001/005
PRODUCT=f94/1/200

dmesg shows me:
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 5
usbserial.c: FTDI 8U232AM converter detected
usbserial.c: FTDI 8U232AM converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or
usb/tts/1 for devfs)

So I will know that the new device number 5 is ttyUSB1 and open that.
Right?

I can send AT commands and get the response and I can use minicom. I do
not have a dialup account at the moment so I cannot test that, but I
guess that if AT commands work, the modem works, right?

Thanks
