That's almost certainly a permissions problem. I'm not sure what version
of 'br' I'm using (I'm away from my network now).

Dapper... that's 6.06, right? My 6.06 test system gives /dev/ttyS* to
the "dialout" group. I believe this is due to the
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules file. 

There are a number of ways to solve the problem:
- make the slimserver user a member of the dialout group
- edit the udev configuration to give /dev/ttyS0 to the slimserver
user or group (and restart udev[?] or reboot)
- make a new group just for /dev/ttyS0, put yourself & the slimserver
user, etc., in that group, modify the udev configuration (and restart
udev[?] or reboot)
- modify the slimserver init script (should be run as root, e.g. via
sudo) to chown /dev/ttyS0 when slimserver starts
- make /dev/ttyS0 world-readable and world-writable (udev config or
init script)

Mainly you want to look at
ls -l /dev/ttyS0
and
groups $SLIMSERVERUSER
where $SLIMSERVERUSER should be the name of the Linux account that
Slimserver runs as.
