You're still having the same problem - it's "sudo" not "sudu".

Possibly. I don't know anything about the live CDs - I wouldn't have
thought _anything_ could be saved to the CD.
The correct place to do this is in udev, where there would be a rule like:
KERNEL=="ttyS14", SYMLINK+="modem"
If the particular tty differs from time to time, then you would use
something more like
KERNEL=="ttyS*", SYSFS{product}=="...some identifying string...", \
SYMLINK+="modem"
I suppose you could figure out exactly what rule you need, and make a new
liveCD with that rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/
