See below for a (script) dump of that demonstrates the behavior I describe. Additional ports are not configurable until a driver such as fourport is loaded. This is in 2.6.20.1 and 2.6.17 (those versions I have tested).

Check what /proc/tty/driver/serial contains, rather than relying on
setserial. setserial distributed by distros hasn't kept up with the
changes in the serial layer.

The setserial being used is the latest one from sourceforge. Its relevant output matches the /proc entries. The problem still remains though. Entries for ttyS4 and up seem to be read-only until I add a supplemental driver such as fourport.
