Looking on the Internet, I learned that Ubuntu 14.04, which is what my netbook is running, comes packaged with brltty. Who knew. So in Startup Applications, I set it to start brltty a few seconds after start up. With the BLT connected to the netbook, I still get it saying "Waiting on serial device," ad nauseum. I've grown to hate that line. Clearly, I don't know what I'm doing. Either some settings are wrong or I'm not doing things in the right order. Anybody run into this?
