1st: What are the permissions on your /dev/ttyS1? Should be: ~$ ls -l /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Feb 20 16:06 /dev/ttyS1 2nd: Make sure dialout really is one of your supplemental gids ~$ id ..... 20(dialout) ... If dialout doesn't appear, re-login and try again. Supplemental group ids are set on login.
