Some of the newer laptops do not have any true serial ports. The
built-in modems are not attached to serial ports. I have no clue as to
what device the modem is actually assigned to. Check to see if
/dev/modem is symlinked to another device. 
I checked Linux on Laptops page
(http://www.chriskirkland.net/news/50.html). It appears that you need a
Lucent driver.
