Thanks for pointing out those interesting utilities, however, I tried each
of the following and nothing showed up:

  while true; do lsof | grep ttyS ; done
  while true; do fuser /dev/ttyS0 ; done

meanwhile the tx: field below keeps changing 

cat /proc/tty/driver/serial 
serinfo:1.0 driver:5.05c revision:2001-07-08
0: uart:16550A port:3F8 irq:4 baud:19200 tx:212754 rx:6 RTS|DTR
1: uart:16550A port:2F8 irq:3 baud:9600 tx:4895 rx:10543 RTS|DTR|DSR|RI


Either something is opening that port so quickly the while loop is not
catching anything or some other weird problem exists.

Do you have any other ideas?

TIA!

PS. I have attached a listing of my running processes.
