(It may have a different name under the 2.6.x kernels.) I should have mentioned that the link is slightly out of date. With Fedora and udev, you do NOT create device nodes yourself. This is taken care of by udev at boot, or when the device is plugged in. Now, as far as the /dev/usbdev1.1_ep00 entries, they are more for devices that do not create a specific device link. For example, you can set the permissions needed for rebcom to access the USB attached book reader even though it does not have a device or driver. (Rebcom uses usblib to talk to it directly.) One way to see if /dev/ACM0 is your modem would be to see if it is only there when you have the modem plugged in. Or you could use a program like minicom to talk to it, and see if it responds like a modem. (You may have to run minicom as root, depending on the permissions of /dev/ACM0.)
