The key to understanding this is that we don't know anything about modems;
all we see is serial ports.  (Note:  If it's a "winmodem", we can't do
anything with it.)

If your modem is a "real" modem, it will just show up as another "com port";
these are probed during boot as 'com0', 'com1', and so on.  Normally, 'com0'
and 'com1' are the built-in serial ports, and 'com2' or higher would be
plug-in things like modems.

Once you've figured out which port it is, just treat it like an external modem
attached to a serial port.
