Sorry for the succinct reply earlier; I was on vacation using my Droid.
You shouldn't be using usbserial to talk to a modem.  You should be
using the Option (which is, by the way, a horrible name for a product --
how do you search for it??) driver, which has been extended to work with
many more manufacturer's modems, including Novatel.

Anyway, compile option as a module and it should be automagically
loaded, find the USB760, and create four ttyUSB* ports.  You should be
able to dial on the first one.

I'm using this on a ts-7400 upgraded to the 2.6 kernel.  I have NO
SUCCESS WHATSOEVER on the 2.4 kernel.
