    Hardware modems usually show up on /dev/ttyS0 - ttyS4, but I haven't
    actually tried a usb one so that may be a bit different.

Right, I had hoped to find something under /dev/ttyS0 - 4, or maybe
/dev/ttyUSB0, or, even better, /dev/modem, but no, nothing. Not even
after a re-install with the modem connected.

Any advice on how I kick-start warty into seeing a USB modem ?
