Interesting that the link stays up for exactly a minute.
On the face of it, I can only see one mistake, which is
to use /dev/modem. I reckon you've got something else
running, mgetty say, that also wants to use the modem.
If one process is locking /dev/modem, and another is locking
/dev/ttyS1, say, then you're screwed.

Best remove /dev/modem from your system and use the real name
throughout. I hope this has the required effect.

Cheers,
