Please DO NOT LISTEN to what I have said here, this could (at the least) cause unexpected behavior and (at the most) create a security hole. 0666 allows read/write for ALL permissions, which is not good (unless you want ever Joe Average User to read to or write from you modem port). DeviceMode 0660 should be sufficient (allows read/write for owner and group, NOTHING for world).
