For the USB you need a line:
Code:
none            /proc/bus/usb   usbdevfs        defaults        0       0
In the file /etc/fstab, I don't know about the modem I never use one but there are plenty of post dealing with it here it looks like a permission problem you should check the /dev/modem device and make sure you are a member of the groups dip and dailout with the command groups in a console wndow so more information as to the type of modem could be helpful as well.
