Presuming you are in normal console mode;
ALT-F2 or ALT-F3 etc to enter another terminal, login as root do;
ps ax
You will see something like;
15949 pts/0 S 0:00 minicom -s
Note down the first field,
do;
kill 15949 {in this example}.
Now that does not kill the process, do;
kill -9 15949
Now its gone and the other terminal is now available again.

ls -al /dev/modem
Like you have been told before to see where the modem is,
if there is no /dev/modem then the modem is not linked to a serial port,
You will have to find out on which port the modem is, say its on /dev/ttyS1
thats comm2 under dos, do;
cd /dev
ln -s ttyS1 modem
Now the modem is on comm 2.
minicom -s
choose Serial port setup
hit the a key
type in /dev/modem
or if its /dev/ttyS1 that should do.
choose the exit with arrow keys hit enter
that should now put you in minicom.
ctrl-z
then a
Thats the page where you can start things rolling.
to exit
ctrl-z { if you are not in that page}
x for exit.
