Hi,

Try to find out wether the serial ports work _at all_ uder linux. An easy
way to do this is by attaching a mouse to one of the port and typing

cat /dev/ttyS0

(use ttyS1 for the second serial port). If you move the mouse a bit, you
should see all kinds of weird characters appearing on the screen.
