It says that the system is set up under the assumption that your mouse is a
PS/2 mouse. That's what /dev/psaux is, and /dev/mouse is a symlink to it.

So ... we know that you have a serial port on ttyS0 . Is it a modem? Who
knows? It's apparently not your mouse, but it might just be an unused serial
port. Next step is to do this:

        ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem

to create the symlink modem and set it to this serial port. Then start
minicom and see if you can get this device to respond to the "AT" command
with "OK". IF you canm you've found your modem. If you can't, most likely
you have not.
