Sounds like an interrupt problem. Remember /dev/ttyS3 is com4: in DOS
parlance which shares an interrupt with com2: by default. Have a look with
setserial /dev/ttyS1
setserial /dev/ttyS3
and see what it shows.
And, I wonder, where is the lock file being parked?
I have had kermit conflict with mgetty and/or uucp because of the lock
files being in different places eg getty was locking the line but
kermit didn't know about it because it could not find the lock file.
Common places:
/usr/spool/uucp
/var/spool/locks
/var/lock
