If you cold restart your OG, run TERM.IZL and get this error, then I would
think that you have a real hardware error. At first I was thinking
that some GEOS.INI modifications could screw up your serial port access,
but after a cold reset, you should have the factory installed GEOS.INI.

Good Luck, and let me know if I can be of more help.
