How have you verified this?  Try the following command and post output:

    $ grep -i 'ttyS' /var/log/dmesg

In my case:

    ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
    ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
    ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

...of which ttyS01 is my modem.

'fuser' will tell you if the device is in use, options will show what
process is using it.

Usual diagnostics are performed with minicom, see the Linux Network
Administrator's Guide for information on doing this.
