As far as  I know, this means that some process has already locked the 
modem.  This could possibly happen if for some reason some kde 
application decided to reserve or use the modem.    I would suggest 
testing out the modem without kde at all, with some command line modem 
utility(see modem how-to) or easiest of all - minicom.
