Thanks, I actually got it to work on my development platform(Mandriva
2008.1) using those instructions.

However, I'm also trying to get it to work on another standalone
environment with Linux kernel 2.6.22.19. Unfortunately the
instructions there won't work because there's no /dev/ttyS0 or
/dev/ttyS1 in this environment. What can I do to "create" these
devices? Sorry for the noob questions.

CHANNELID doesn't matter, it just has to be there.
