The NEC DDB Vrc-5074 (and probably the other DDB variants as well) has one
serial port in the Nile 4 host bridge, and 2 serial ports in the Super I/O.

To me it sounds the most logical if the one in the Nile 4 is ttyS0.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
