[description of problem deleted]
The modem0.device exibits a bug when two programs open the device in shared
mode and one or both of them uses 7-wire mode. Crashes are likely to occur.
If you have the choice, turn of 7-wire and everything should be OK.
Unfortunately, some software ALWAYS opens the device in 7-wire mode and won't
let you change it.
