Hmm. How's it plug into the machine? If it's plugged into a serial port,
it's probably got to be on a com port. But if you have a recent
motherboard, it could be on com3 or com4 -- try the other /dev/ttys[2..4]
entries as the Device "/dev/ttywhatever" entry, and see if that helps.
Also, you might want to check your kernel messages on boot and see if the
serial driver is installed -- try "more < /var/log/messages" to check
this, and you should see something about tty00--tty03.
It's also possible that your serial port is by default configured for the
wrong IRQ, in which case you'll need to use setserial.
