Drifting OT: They are mounted as file systems, because that's how
drivers (and a really crappy connect application) is distributed for
Windows users. There's a small CD (ISO-something) file system that's
mounted as an external drive on the little buggers. That Linux
automounts these file systems is probably a bug, as users have no use
for the stuff on them. The driver is already in the kernel, and there
are ways to connect to the modems without knowing any /dev paths, my
favourite is the one here:
