Minicom is right, I think the issue here is where the serial port is found. Do you know how the serial port 
is connected to your system? If it is a USB to serial adapter, then ttyUSB# is where you should find it, # 
being the number of the port, i.e if you only have one USB to serial port, then 0 is the first, counting up 
for any additional ports.

If the port is internal to your computer, then you should try using /dev/ttyS#, again # being the serial port 
number, 0 being the first.

Hope this helps.
