A couple things are problematic... creating the ttys0 will likely not
fix the problem. That said, you need to use the mknod command or
/dev/MAKEDEV to create the ttyS0 device node. Depending on the age of
your system you may need to consult the Linux Kernel Documentation to
determine the major and minor numbers for your particular hardware.
Otherwise, check the manpage for MAKEDEV and mknod for usage.

To fix the problem you'll probably need to build the device module. Post
more info on the modem chipset and your distribution.
