Additional info:
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2002-10-01 03:02:10 UTC 
What does $TERM get set to in this case?
Comment 2 kumarnz 2003-01-17 22:02:34 UTC 
Possibly related: 

Kudzu won't detect an external (serial) modem on /dev/ttyS0 if the  modem is
switched on prior to starting kudzu. 

If, however, the modem is switched on while kudzu is running, it will be
detected and configured.

Curiously devices on /dev/ttyS1 are not detected at all.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2003-02-28 00:14:54 UTC 
Fixed, will be in 1.0.1-1 or later.
