A quick grep of the devices.txt included with the kernel-sources gave
me:

166 char        ACM USB modems
                  0 = /dev/ttyACM0      First ACM modem
                  1 = /dev/ttyACM1      Second ACM modem
                    ...


This would mean that if your current TA is treated in the same way as
your old one (let's hope so), you can create the device-node with:

$sudo mknod -m666 /dev/ttyACM0 c 166 0

now try your dialing software and if it works you'll have a nice
learning experience either trying to patch udev, submitting a bug-report
(or -fix if the former was succesful) or writing a script to create the
node for you everytime you need it over and over again...

Hopes this helps.
