modem does not work in panther

My modem does not work on my 17" powerbook after installing panther. It says "cannot open the communication device" everytime i click on connect. The internal modem is checked. It worked once when i rebooted the computer, but then after I restarted again, it no longer worked. Any ideas?

I had that problem sometimes with my iBook and Jaguar. disconnecting and reconnecting the modem cable usually solved it. Also: Try again. And then again. Software modems are jerky, anyway...
