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.
