user dialup access

[steve doerr <sdoerr@qni.com>]

I have the follwing permissions situation and would like to give users
dialup access.  It appears users can execute pon, but the modem doesn't
dial.  Does the user need /dev/ttyS1 access?  If so, how is that done,
because chmod on that device says operation not permitted.

Any help appreciated!
