let's call it 'modem' and do:
chgrp modem /dev/ttyS1
chmod g+rw /dev/ttyS1
Then add users that are allowed to use modem to group 'modem' (that's what
groups in Linux are for). Giving everyone access to modem should be OK if
you are the only user on your computer but on shared machine it's much
better to control who can use modem.
