You're both right, thank you Tim and Keith!

After moving the /dev/ttyS0 I did a search in /var/log for ttyS0 and
found the following in /var/log/daemon.log:

Oct  3 11:48:59 pino brltty[80]: Open failed on port /dev/ttyS0: No such
file or directory


The funny thing was that I had earlier killed all brltty processes due to
suspicions but the transmissions did not stop. So I then removed the
brltty package and restarted now everything is fine.

Thank you.
