Without saying anything about whether Kannel, run by root, is secure or not:
You can either choose that option
or
chmod ugo+rw /dev/ttyS0 so ordinary users can also use your modem.

I believe it much more safer to use group-based access permission. E.g:
# chown .kannel /dev/ttyS0
# chmod ug+rw,o-rwx /dev/ttyS0
If you use Debian default installation, then device file /dev/ttyS0 will
be owned by 'uucp' group. You can easily set your kannel user to be in
'uucp' group, in order
A 3rd option (which I am using now) is to make your 'kannel' user a
member of the group of your /dev/ttyS0, so you can leave the permission
of the device file as it is, and only kannel (not ordinary users) can
access the device file.
Cheers.
