демон gammu-smsd не отправляет SMS-сообщения

Я заметил, что мой демон gammu-smsd, работающий в Ubuntu, внезапно не отправляет сообщения (таблица sentitems моей базы данных postgresql не обновляется). Сначала я заметил, что дамемон не работает, поэтому перезапустил его:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/gammu-smsd start
 * Starting Gammu SMS Daemon gammu-smsd    [ OK ]

Затем я проверил системный журнал (это журнал, в котором я настроил gammu-smsd для отчета):

Означает ли это, что модем, подключенный к последовательному порту компьютера, не отвечает? (Я получаю доступ к машине через ssh, и я не хочу, чтобы физически подключался к компьютеру, если это не требуется.)

Обратите внимание, что я могу бежать sudo minicom и получите следующее:

Welcome to minicom 2.4

OPTIONS: I18n 
Compiled on Jan 25 2010, 07:02:36.
Port /dev/ttyS0

Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys  

Однако minicom не позволяет мне вводить какие-либо команды в окне. Он просто показывает мигающий курсор. Пока я могу использовать CTRL-А Z и другие CTRL-А ярлыки для доступа к меню, я не могу вводить какие-либо команды в окне.

Журнал minicom выглядит так:

$ cat minicom.log

Есть идеи, почему SMS-сообщения не отправляются?
