I didn't know it actually made a difference.
Ok, without doing further research yet so I'll assume locking is a
problem :
How about 'mv /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem' ? Then there is still only 1
file, but has the nicer name. Admittedly it does create a problem if
you want to get at that serial port and the modem is no longer there
and you don't remember that you renamed it, then you can run into a
problem with having 2 device files for a single device.
