I used a modem in SUSE and also Linspire 4.0, and I don't remember having to fiddle with user permissions... but that was a long long time ago (last time I had to use dial-up).

I used RedHat Linux 4.3 (not RHEL!) that shipped with Applixware,
an office suite for UNIX... :-) I used almost all versions of RedHat Linux
from 6 to 9.0, then Fedora Linux starting with 1.

I also worked with POS machines using POSIX serial port programming
and I had to add my user to the uucp group before being able to access
/dev/ttyS0, also on RedHat brand.

SuSE might have been different with the serial device permissions.
But world-writable by default?
