there is no output to stdout. if log_stderr is set to true (which is not
the case in the config fragment you posted), all gets dumped to syslog
(typically /var/log/daemon or /var/log/messages depending on your
syslog configuration). If set to true, it is dumped to std_error.

I've toggled between debug 7 and debug 3, as well as fork yes and no, and log_stderror yes and no.  I've also put random comments in the file to see if ser complains. Doesn't make a difference at all.  Still hangs.  Your help is much appreciated.  What do you think I should try next in order to identify where the problem is?  Here is a clip from the top of ser.cfg, from what I last tried.
