How about checking to make sure you have user permissions for the modem, either
for /dev/modem or for /dev/ttyS0 or both. Changing your user to the "dialout"
group also seems to solve the permissions problem for /dev/modem. But if the
symbolic link is not done from that to the appropriate tty, changing the user
to "dialout" won't change the problem.
