by deleting the corresponding file in /var/lock/
for me that is 
/var/lock/LCK..ttyS1
which currently exists because of my existing Linux dial-up connection
(hence DOSEMU is not allowed to use it - be careful: if another
running program is already accessing /dev/ttyS1 you should not remove the 
lock; this only makes sense for stale lock files)
