Almost certainly it won't. While you might be able to get u9fs to show
you the device file on the Unix side, the communications model is
different, and you won't have access to the ioctl's and so forth to set
the modem's parameters. Going the other way around, plan 9 won't be
able to see the ctl and status files it expects.
You might be able to get lucky and set the parameters on both sides
statically, but obviously that's an imperfect solution. Your best bet
at this point would probably just be to buy a regular modem and hook it
up to a spare RS-232 port. Of course, I wouldn't mind seeing support
for a few more USB devices, so if you're interested in doing the work
to get the modem class supported, then by all means, have at it. :-)
