While I was talking to him, he was logged in as root. I'd have thought
root should have access to it...

It occurs to me that this could be an error message that's falsely reporting
inability to find ttyS0, when in fact, it's reporting that the user that's
trying to run gtkterm isn't a member of the group that owns ttyS0. So that
user should be added to the group, and will need to log out and back in
again.
Hope that helps,

Dave,
I just talked to Jim on the phone for a bit. He's successfully got gtkterm
installed, and a valid config file but it now claims it can't find
/dev/ttyS0 to open it.
It does exist but I'm now at a loss to determine how to see what it's
connected to...
I just don't know ubuntu and debian.

The line above that starts with root would be the one your are
interested in ..
its the last bit of it thats telling you its about ttyS0 . Important
- ignore the secondline that ends in "...grep ttyS0" thats just
telling you you just looked for ttyS0.
If you can copy and past it in to a reply (select in terminal and
then choose edit/copy) before taking any other action.
