My new 'puter came with no serial port. For $2.49 I bought a pci card

going on. When I try to hook up my palm to the serial port I get this
message:

Unable to bind to port: /dev/ttys0
Please use --help for more information
Same for ttyS1.
Also, here's the output of lspci:

Is there a driver I need to modprobe? Anything I need to do?
I'm lost. :-(
TIA
Ok, for starters, the new card is the NetMos Technology PCI 9835
Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01). You might want to google for "PCI 9835",
or see if you can track down the website of the manufacturer.
