I have a software I like to use called gmfsk which uses the serial

computer which has a serial port that is not working.
Is the serial port enabled in the BIOS? What does the command
dmesg | grep ttyS
give you? (upper case S).
Hi Lamar, I get nothing from dmesg | grep ttyS and I even tried
/dev/ttyS :-)
Try: dmesg|grep -i serial
Also, I think the driver supports 4 ports rather than saying you have 4
ports, as the chances are you only have 2 (one internal + one external).
