Does the UPC software 'stipulate' that /dev/ttyS0 is to be used??
Do you in fact have a modem assigned to one of your /dev/ttySx ports ?
- which one ??
- how is it assigned/configured
Are you able to use another /dev/ttyS? - give it another bash and see what
happens.
Be a bit careful with connections to /dev/ttyS0 port as your mouse
(regardless of type) still/may/might be assigned here despite what you
think as indicated by the error message getting returned above.
