There is an udev system in 9.3, but it works quite different than in 10.1 
or 10.2.

In 9.3 to create, for instance, symbolic links to dvd, cdrom, etc, we 
edited "/etc/udev/rules.d/20-cdrom.rules" like this:

BUS="ide", ID="1.0", SYSFS{removable}="1", SYMLINK="dvdrecorder dvdram dvd"
BUS="ide", ID="1.1", SYSFS{removable}="1", SYMLINK="cdrecorder cdrom"
#

In 10.1 it is in /etc/udev/rules.d/65-cdrom.rules, with an slightly 
different syntax:


SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.1-ide-1:0", SYSFS{removable}=="1", SYMLINK+="dvdram cdrom dvd cdrecorder"


I don't know where the "/dev/modem" symlink is specified in 9.3, but Yast 
created it, as far as I remember. I think there was a "static" file 
somewhere, but that one was for forcing creation of nodes, not symlinks.
