Hmm.  As usual, I know too little to know what is wrong.  Only that I 
get nothing in response to <CR>s.

Running setserial I get:

gungadin:~ # setserial /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
gungadin:~ # setserial /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
gungadin:~ # setserial /dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4

So, from this I would decuce that I have two serial ports, 0 & 1.  I 
would guess that they are set up to work or setserial wouldn't give 
me information on them.  However, perhaps that is my problem.  If 
more info is required on the serial ports, how would I devine it?

Thanks for the clues so far, and any further suggestions you might 
have.
