Thanks a lot to all for your help !!

But as often the solution was too simple to find it too soon ;)
I always had connected the receiver to the 1st serial port (ttyS0) and there 
it generally refused to work. I really tried anything but it just wouldnt 
work. 
And then , after many many hours, I connected it to the 2nd port, and guess 
what, yeah, it fuckin' worked ! Jesus. I think everyone can understand how 
bullshited I felt ;) 

Now everything works on my Pentium133 w/ 64 MB RAM and nfsroot. However, mp3 
playback is choppy sometimes.  maybe i o/c it to 150 ...

servus
