I suggest you first get on of those $6 doodads with the lights and plug it in.
Then look at the Devices file to see if tty1a is listed as a device to be used,
which is, i think, the source of the above message.  Then noodle around, noting
when you seem to get a DTR signal on the modem line.   Beyond that, its a 
black art which cannot be taught remotely.  (or remotely taught)
