I know this may seem silly (especially since someone else commented that
the cua devices are no longer used they are only there for compatibility
reasons) buuuuuuut...

Give a try using /dev/cua1 instead of /dev/ttyS1 and see what happens.  I
use /dev/cua1 at work on a dial-out box and have never had a problem with
it.

(I was almost certain that ttySx's were dial-in while cuax's were
dial-out... hmmm.. weird. Of course, as it goes, either device you would
think should perform the same task)
