There is one thing you can do to see the status of the tty. While pppd
is running:

	stty -a -f /dev/ttyS2

and see if in cflags: `cs8' is set. If it is set, then you probably
have a problem in the driver or on the remote end. If it is not set,
then there is a problem in the driver. pppd(8) always sets cs8 on the
tty line.
