When I do what you suggest, this is what I get:

root at eamann-laptop:/home/eamann# install-user -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -u eamann 
-i 12345

Listening for incoming connection on /dev/ttyUSB1...

Nothing happens, even after five minutes and if I try to intervene the 
terminal blocks and I cannot use the up arrow to repeat the command.

When I try USB0, I get a different response:

eamann at eamann-laptop:~$ install-user -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -u eamann -i 12345
Unable to bind to port: /dev/ttyUSB0

What do you deduce from that?

Thanks for your help!
