Each USB driver is given the chance to look at the device and it will 
respond
with a priority of how well it can handle the device (0 means it cannot
handle it at all).  So to get a device recognized as by the umodem driver
you need to change the match routine in umodem.c.
It's highly unlikely that this will work, though.  You have probably got
a USB winmodem.
