You should look at using v.digit2.  It solved a similar problem for another
person who couldn't get their Altek digitizer working with v.digit running
under Solaris 2.3.  This assumes though, that you have a format file under 
$GISBASE/etc/digitizers for you digitizer, and that you use digitcap rather
than digcap (found under $GISBASE/etc).
