There may be an API call do to it, I'm not sure. But another way is to open the ports starting with one and try to issue AT commands and look for a response. Most, if not all, modems will support the basic subset of AT commands. Below is a list. Start with V1 (verbose response). Then try E1 or C1, or others might be good to just get a response.
To issue an AT command you open a port, then send "AT" & command & vbCrLf
