Yes, and there are four listed: /dev/stty1-4.  By my understanding from a
serial port howto I found online, Linux automatically tries to configure the
first four serial ports, but I could be mistaken.

The issue is that I am unable to locate the base address and IRQ in use for
the serial ports to properly configure lirc, and using the defaults results
in an irexec error.


As far as the IR port on the PVR-150, I am already using that for my remote
control input, so I'm stuck there.
