I do not have one of these devices so i cant realy help with configuring it,
however i do see that you are doing the wrong thing here.
/dev/ttys0 is NOT a (COMM) seriel line /dev/ttyS0 is thats comm 1 under dos.
ttys* are for intern configuration, ie linking two programs togehter.
They are more commonly known as tty-pty pairs.
ttyS* are commports.
I sugegst you read again the PCMCIA-HOWTO.gz and look carefully at section
3.4 You should see the differanve explained in more detail there.
You possably need a driver also, which normaly would be configured and
included as a "module" depending on which driver is needed, a typical
command to load a module would be;
modprobe <module_name.o> <optons>
man modprobe
