	".. Device not configured" means that your kernel does not 
support or did not find a 4th comm port.  you can confirm this by reading 
the output of /sbin/dmesg.  you are looking for:

'sio3 not found at 0x2e8'  meaning that the comm port was not found. 
'sio3 at 0x2e8-0x2ef irq X on isa' meaning that the comm port was found
or not reference to sio3 at all, meaning that the kernel does not support
a 4th comm port, and you need to rebuild a kernel.
