Thank you for this report.

Are you certain that /dev/ttyS0 is in fact correct?

/dev/ttyS0 is a (serial) terminal device. If pppd can't get terminal
parameters from it, that's a serious problem. It could well indicate
that there is nothing represented by /dev/ttyS0 (meaning, it doesn't
really represent your hardware modem card; perhaps the necessary driver
was not loaded).

If it is a bug, it'd be with the linux kernel, since anything that
represents itself with /dev/ttyS0 has to support basic terminal I/O.

When you say, "this happens in kernels 2.6.14 and later", are you saying
that kernels before 2.6.14 handled this fine?

Thanks.
