Here goes:

I should point out that I'm trying two different computers: an old IBM laptop 600X, and, a really old Toshiba desktop. Both! have exactly the same ls listing!
Software is Chyenne Bitware Voice Mail System (works real well). When I try to "setup" the modem - the message is: "... com port currently used by another application ...". But it's not, that I am aware of.
Dmesg on the old Toshiba referenced ttyS1, so, I have links in dosdevices to both com1 and com2. As you can see, I don't think this is a permissions issue.
Interestingly, I have some really old DOS "Testcoms" software. Both report no com port (in xdosemu)!
Is this an old Bios issue?
