Well maybe try a real install instead of on top of Virtual Box.

And we can use some extra NetbSD expertise here on the forum.
The problem here is the modem is not being detected a USB modem, i.e: it doesn't present itself to userland as a serial port.. doesn't matter if NetBSD has a working PPP implementation at this stage.

It may be as simple as patching their relevant drivers to attach to this device, i.e: nudge it out of USB mass storage mode.

A lot of USB devices attach as a tiny CD-ROM drive with Windows driver included, OpenBSD's ubsa(4)/umsm(4) drivers have few known methods of doing such nudging.. AFAIK FreeBSD ships with a utility to do it.

With some devices, using eject(1) is enough to have it attach with the proper driver.
