Not as far as i know of. Debian probably has something in their package 
repositry, try aptgetting net-setup (thats what i think gentoo uses, maybe 
debian does too), thats curses based though.

You could just put this in one of your startup files though;

rm /dev/modem
ln -s /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem

that way the symlink would be remade on every boot
