We are running v.digit under GRASS4.1 on a SUN IPC and a Sparc 1+. First, be
sure that your digcap file is correctly edited; for running an Altek AC30
digitizer controller from serial port A our digcap looks like this:

Altek:/dev/ttya:al30f8_16:Altek digitizer, model AC30, format 8 (binary)
none:nodig:nofile:  Run digit without the digitizer.

Then, edit your /etc/ttytab file to reflect this use:

(lines deleted)
ttya    "/usr/etc/getty std.9600"       unknown         off local secure
(more lines deleted)

I got the same error a few days ago, after the digitizer got plugged into the
wrong serial port, and the ttytab file was not correctly edited.

Good luck!
