Not necessarily. Many Linux modem packages use /dev/modem as a
default, and altering that is a royal pain in the butt. Even the
modemconfig tool in the control panel makes symbolic links to
/dev/modem from /dev/cua*.  Now, keeping /dev/cua* and /dev/ttyS* both
running is an error: but using /dev/modem as a symbolic link to either
/dev/cua1 or /dev/ttyS1 works fine for me, and I think is a reasonable
setup.
