Please do rm /dev/modem, then replace all references to it by
what it was linked to.  /dev/modem simply serves to confuse the serial
port locking mechanisms.

(Things may work if you have special versions of all the software,
configured to refer to /dev/modem, as though it were /dev/ttyS1, etc.,
but this is not common on Linux based systems.)

/dev/modem was one of the major wrong decisions in Linux distributions.
