If it's configured as COM2 under Windows it ought to show
up as ttyS1 (port 2F8, irq3).  But from your listing it
looks as if either it or the infrared port (which has a
serial interface too) is appearing at ttyS1, and the
other of the two is not seen.  If ttyS1 is the infrared
port then the serial port might be powered off or disabled.
Use ps2.exe to re-enable and power on the serial port.
