I'm not using diald (yet), but I've been using vgetty and minicom
on the same port for quite awhile. What you'll have to do is run
minicom -s as root (this will make changes global). Select "Serial
port setup" from the menu, and then change "Serial Device" to
/dev/ttyS3 and "Lockfile Location" to /var/lock. It's been awhile
since I set this up, so I hope I didn't forget anything, but I just
recently switched to vgetty from mgetty+sendfax 1.1.5, and it still
works, so I don't believe anything had to be changed in that to make
it work. You may have similar changes to make in diald. I won't
know until I install it. I hope this helps.
