Just an update.  I changed my serial from 3F8/IRQ4 to 2F8/IRQ3 since we
couldn't even talk to our Cisco modem.  But on 2F8/IRQ3 we can, so I
tried the Irman again and this is the messages I get back from lircd
when running `lircd -n -d /dev/ttyS1`

could not open config file '/etc/lircd.conf'
No such file or directory
lircd(any) ready

Now I run irw and get the following from lircd:

accepted new client on /dev/lircd
could not get hardware features
this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface
major number of /dev/ttyS1 is 4
LIRC major number is 61
check if /dev/ttyS1 is a LIRC device
caught signal
Terminated

If I try and specify a driver with --driver=irman I get:

accepted new client on /dev/lircd
could not open /dev/ttyS1
irman_init(): Input/output error
caught signal
Terminated

I am running them both as root.  I've tested the port by talking to a
Cisco modem and I've tested the device on my Windows machine, so I don't
think I either are bad.  Any thoughts?
