Two reasons are possible:
1. your ifconfig has a problem with the certain command line. In
this case you should try
ifconfig bc0 up
axparms -setcall bc0 KE2LJ-6 up
2. (more likely) something prevents the baycom driver from being
loaded properly. (ifconfig still refuses working)
In most cases, this is caused by the parallel printer driver. Compile
the "parallel printer support" as a module into your kernel and
rmmod it before loading baycom.
