Second serial port

[Jose Alberto Lobo <lobo@ffn.ub.es>]

    Hi, see if anybody can give a hand...

    I just bought a UPS, APC Back-UPS Pro, inserted it between CPU and mains
supply, and connected to serial port 2.

    I then downloaded package  upsd-1.0-8 (10.7k)  via dselect/apt for my
Debian-2.1. On configure I get

		upsd:  /etc/init.d/ups: Port not-configured

    I have the mouse attached to /dev/ttyS0, and default serial port configura-
tion on bootup script /etc/rc.boot/0setserial for two serial ports. This is the
output of setserial:


# setserial -a /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
        Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
        closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
        Flags: spd_normal skip_test session_lockout

# setserial -a /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, Line 1, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
        Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
        closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
        Flags: spd_normal session_lockout


# setserial -b /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
# setserial -b /dev/ttyS1
#


    I.e., no response to setserial -b /dev/ttyS1. What can I do to activate it?
N.B.: Mainboard is W6LXB-0 (AGP, Pentium II), kernel is 2.2.14.

    Hope somebody can give a hand. Best,
					     Alberto
