I believe that your problem is that your ppp configuration uses /dev/modem, and mgetty uses /dev/ttyS0. My suggestion for you is to get rid of the /dev/modem stuff, as it is causing problems with locking the devie (the modem). See mgetty's documentation for more details. Simply using /dev/ttyS0 (assuming this is where your modem is), instead of /dev/modem, might solved your problem.
