You probably have the pppd daemon listening on /dev/ttyUSB0 or similar.
This would lock the port and prevent your outgoing ppp session from
talking to the modem device (is this just a lock file or a
kernel-enforced device lock?). Take a look at how pppd is started:
inittab, or rc.d scripts. You'll probably want to stop pppd and then do
your dial out. Also see the "lock" option of pppd, although I'm
uncertain if removing this will allow your outgoing connection through.
