I have now implemented the fix for this.  ports now have a "class" field
which is "serial" or "modem".  (The LG phones are on serial, the Sanyo
on modem).

The usb information is now in the profile for each phone class.  I put
the sanyo entry into com_sanyo, so you will need to update that if
it differs by model.

Steven, can you please update the comscanmac function in comscan.py
to note if the device is a serial or modem.  I think the Mac uses
/dev/cu.usbserial and /dev/cu.usbmodem respectively.  res["class"]
should be set the the right value in the loop.
