[Michael Hutchinson] 

Try:
Model=6310
Connection=dlr3p

You could try dlr3 without the p. 
After that it sounds like you might have an issue with the cable. Perhaps use a 
terminal emulator to talk to /dev/ttyS0 directly and see if anything responds. 
If that doesn't work, can you try plugging the whole thing into another 
computer? This may help identify whether the cable is the problem or not. 
Do you have an old external modem you can plug into the serial port? You'd have 
to set model=AT and connection=serial but at least then you'll see if the COM 
port is actually working or not.

Cheers,
