This sounds like you do not have seyon setuid correctly.  Given
that I am still having problems with this myself (I can only
run it as root right now), I am hesitant to recommend much, but 
try running seyon as root and see if you get anything better.  
Also, make sure you are dialing to the correct com port.

Good luck,
Matt
