Any idea why the sms messages are not being sent?

I noticed that my gammu-smsd daemon running on Ubuntu is suddenly not sending messages (the sentitems table of my postgresql database is not being updated). First, I noticed that the damemon was not running so I restarted it:

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

Then I checked the syslog (which is the log I configured gammu-smsd to report to):

Does this mean that the modem plugged into the serial port of the computer is not responding? (I access the machine via ssh and I don't want to have to physically go to computer if not required.)

Note though that I can run sudo minicom and get the following:

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  

However, minicom does not let me type any at commands in the window. It just shows a blinking cursor. While I am able to use CTRL-A Z and other CTRL-A shortcuts to access menus, I am unable to type any at commands in the window.

The minicom log looks like this:

$ cat minicom.log
