GTCO digitizer setup

  We are trying to set up a GTCO Super L II Plus digitizer to run with GRASS4.1. 
It is not working! Via UNIX commands I am able to communicate with the digitizer 
board and it seems to be working fine. But when ever I try to run v.digit I get 
to this page with the error message:

 Answering 'y' appears to do nothing and 'n' takes me out of v.digit. After 
leaving v.digit the digitizer is hung and needs resetting. Our digitizer has a 4 
button 'Cursor'('mouse'). I changed the digitizer file to reflect that but is 
that enough?
 Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
