You can change the permission on the device that /dev/modem points to. You
can find the device using "ls -l /dev/modem". Assuming it points to
/dev/ttyS0, you can allow all users to access the modem like this:

  chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0

I would recommend avoiding Linuxconf because it changes permissions
without telling you. It may reset the permissions on ttyS0 without telling
you.
