The modem isn't detected because it doesn't _work_.  You can attempt to
find out _why_ it doesn't work properly by setting the 'debug' flag using
the kernel configuration tool.  

Boot with the '-c' flag :

Boot: -c

Then at the config prompt, set the debug flag for the first serial port :

config> flags sio0 0x80
config> quit

Now when the port is probed, you should see a list of tests that it fails.
If the list goes past too fast, wait until the menu is displayed, then 
hit Scroll Lock, and use Page Up to scroll back and read the messages.
