Don't kill -9 anything unless every other method fails. Most of the time, just kill PID works. As you can see, kill -9 killed wvdial, before it could release the lock it had on your modem.

"However foolproof you make Unix/Linux..." mknod /dev/ttyS0 c 4 64 and then set the permissions on /dev/ttyS0 to be the same as /dev/ttyS1.
