I guess the situation take totally different 
angle when I have noticed I got the USB kind. 
More precisely (Visor from Mindspring).

I am guessing the regular serial port is out of the question at 
this time.

I have looked at some of the linux-USB (visor) websites and 
I guess I can try to patch my kernel. Although it looks like
the kernel is seeing the USB interface on my box:

lspci -v returns following:
00:07.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586B USB (rev 02)
(prog-if 00 [UHCI])
	Subsystem: Unknown device 0925:1234
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10
	I/O ports at e400
