Use lspci to scan the PCI bus and lsusb to scan the usb bus.
Does it see the modem? If not it may need a driver. most notable are the fake modems that need serial drivers to do the real work (called ltmodem)
Did UDEV create a device for it?
It will be a serial port, e.g. /dev/tty01
If it does not see the device check the hardware. If it sees the device but failed to make a port for it, check the driver and udev.
