Thanks! One of the two methods in the inputattach README file worked,
namely adding this to /etc/rc.local:
inputattach --daemon -mman /dev/ttyS0
The alternate approach mentioned in the README file, adding this to
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:
ACTION="add", KERNEL=="ttyS0", RUN+="inputattach --daemon -mman %p"
didn't work, but I only need one solution. Thanks again.
