If you are using the FreeBSD port of Minicom that I made, it does indead
assume that /dev/modem is a link to what ever device your modem is hanging
off of.  If you didn't use my Minicom port, I'd suggest you grap it from
ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/comm/minicom (or get the port
from the FreeBSD Web page as www.freebsd.org).
