Over the weekend I decided to try out KDE2 (on my laptop, running RH7), and I had a
similar problem. Something I was playing with (in KDE?) changed the permissions on
/dev/ttyS3 (modem), from 666 to 644 (I think). Once I changed the permissions back, I
had no more problems.
So maybe you should check the permissions on your /dev/ttySx (wherever you have your
modem)?
