Followup to my post of 30 seconds ago:
[root@coyote gene]# ls -l /dev/ttyS*
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Nov  9 16:35 /dev/ttyS0
crw------- 1 root root 4, 65 Nov  9 16:35 /dev/ttyS1
crw------- 1 root root 4, 66 Nov  9 16:35 /dev/ttyS2
crw------- 1 root root 4, 67 Nov  9 16:35 /dev/ttyS3
[root@coyote gene]# setserial /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1: No such device or address
