I think he's actually asking why his COM1 is ttyS00 and not ttyS0.
Sorry I cannot explain why this would be??? I have three COM ports...
ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS2....something like that.
Actually, you can use pppd. Here is a sample line I use...
/usr/sbin/pppd -detach crtscts lock local novj proxyarp passive \
192.168.1.110:agenda /dev/ttyS0 115200 noauth local
