I enabled the serial port in BIOS on my X20, booted with the
ultrabay/media slice connected.  Linux saw the serial port as /dev/ttyS0. 
Hooked up my trusty(well, as much as one can trust something that runs
DOS) HP 200LX to the serial port, and transferred some files.  No problems
here.

I'm using Fedora Core 1, kernel 2.4.22-1.2194.nptl ...
