That's the message I would expect when no serial device

So, it appears that *something* may be at /dev/ttyS4
but not exactly what is expected. It may be that Sindi's
guess (that it's a winmodem) might be correct.

Please explain exactly what you mean by the "terminal
indicator".

ctrl-C works in some situations. If that doesn't work,
ctrl-alt-F2 will usually take you to tty2 where you can
kill the process tying up tty1.
