I suppose you can go into kppp and make sure the modem is set for
/dev/modem. Then, leave that setting alone.

Now, issue the command(s)

'ls -l /dev/modem' (see what that returns, if it doesn't "point" to the right device, then do)
'ln -s /dev/ttySX /dev/modem' (where X is the com port (begining at 0) you want to set)

remove the link ('rm /dev/modem'), wash, rinse, repeat (differant com ports) until it works.
