Not sure.

"serial" without quotes. This forces the serial module to stay in memory.

I remember it being fairly well commented. Just comment (with a #) the
line that does the auto probing or configuring or whatever. Then go way
down toward the bottom of the file where is says manual configuration.
Then uncomment the line for ttyS2.

"plog -f" from another window or virtual terminal, run pon, and post what
