What does

ls -l /dev/ttyS2

say?

For comparison purposes, here my one and only serial port is /dev/ttyS0
and the output is:

$ ls -l /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2007-05-25 06:35 /dev/ttyS0

Also, I assume that you have checked that your default user is in the
"dialout" group. Can you connect using

sudo pon                 ?

If so, you have a permissions problem - either you are not in the right
groups or the device has the wrong permissions.

Just a couple of possible things to trouble-shoot...
