I also had problems getting the serial port working with a 770Z
until I tried moving the serial port to /dev/ttyS2, or COM3 in
DOS speak. This did the trick and now the serial port works. I'm
using the serial port for things like logging on to headless linux
boxes, routers and other devices that can be configured through
serial port.

Moving the serial port to ttyS2 can be done with Thomas Hood's 
tpctl or IBM's PS2.EXE.

This is what setserial says about the 9 pin 770Z serial port:

% setserial /dev/ttyS2
/dev/ttyS2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
