Hi Facundo -

I was using the DB9F to RJ11 Modular to D-Sub Adaptor Kit at 
http://www.frys.com/product/2402370, but I realized a few minutes ago 
that I definitely pinned it incorrectly. Hopefully that is the issue... 
Unfortunately I only bought one, and I can't see a way to pull the pins 
back out, I think they only connect one time and then they're permanent. 
I'll go get another one tomorrow and pin it correctly. I think the 
correct pinout is at 
http://goldfndr.home.mindspring.com/digitraveler.html - if anyone has 
any corrections, I'd love to know.

I am also using the Link Depot USB to DB9 Serial at 
http://www.frys.com/product/6819966. It shows up fine as /dev/ttyUSB0.

I think my serial communications problem is just that I pinned the DB9F 
to RJ11 Modular to D-Sub Adaptor wrong.
