It does not work, NAME="/dev/ttyS0" has to be added. However doing this then 
there are no /dev/ttyS*. Symlink /dev/modem points to a non existing file.

Now I found that /dev/ttyS0 is a symlink to /dev/tts/0. So I changed 
NAME="/dev/tts/0" with the effect that then there is no /dev/tts/0 but only 1, 
2 and 3.

Now I am totally confused and back to rc.local command, ln -s /dev/ttyS0 
/dev/modem.

Is there somebody to whom this males sense?
