What kind of modem is it? 
Anyway, that freezing sounds like it could be an IRQ conflict. Check
cat /proc/interrupts to see which IRQs are taken, and 
setserial -g /dev/ttyS* to see what are the stats on COM ports. This can
help, since if you know what COM port the modem is on, and it's
conflicting, you can reassign the stats.
