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.
