Getting the "ltserial" modem to work was relatively easy.

After rebooting, /dev/modem may disappear. One solution to that is referencing /dev/ttyLTM0 directly for the modem device, instead of trying to figure how to keep that symbolic link intact.
The modem is [http://www.richmondcomputes.org/connecting_to_aol_with_linux confirmed
