This is the patch to the 1.2(.1) release, right?

You need to "mknod" a device node to access it. The right major number
is mentioned in the README to the patch, I think, and in the diff to the
conf.c file:

su
cd /dev
mknod ttyG0 c 41 0
mknod ttyG1 c 41 1
mknod ttyGM0 c 41 128
mknod ttyGM1 c 41 129
