That's the page I was using to check, and it doesn't say /dev/ttyS0
but does say /dev/tty* and /dev/comX.  If this is the case, however,
that that's how it's been for the past four years, I'd like to remove
any references to com1 from the acinclude.m4 file and just go with
/dev/ttyS0.  

Four years is long enough. :-)

Jack.
