sounds like something is already accessing the modem. ppp maybe? Run the ppp
configuration program and make sure that ppp is not set to connect on boot. I
used to use the controlpanel network configuration program to do this. Linux
conf probably soes this now but I don't know for sure.
There may be a lock file that minicom looks for and won't connect if it is
there. My guess is that it will be in /var/lock.
Hope this helps and does not get you off track.
