To install a modem for both in-and out-dial use you have to assign the
/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty process to it, the you won't have to hassle with
enabling/disabling the port. Everythin si being taken care of. The only
problem that will occur is if you use another terminal program (like
pcomm). They don't create lock files so uucp thinks he line is still
enabled. but this only happens on some systems, not on mine.
uugetty checks if the device is available when attempting to dial out. 
Hope I could help you, oli
