gphoto(gtkam) doesn't show ports for serial cameras (ttyS0)

I'm running Fedora Core 5 and when I try to connect to my Olympus D-360L camera (serial) it doesn't show a port to use on the list, it's blank and I have no clue how to put them in there so I can choose. So far all I know about them is (ttyS0) or what ever that is. Any help would be wonderful.

Here is a screen shot, it explains better then I did in text.

I'm no expert but I just mount it.
First plug the camera in and see if it was recognised;
as root
dmesg
then you can mount it just like any drive
I make a directory for it
mkdir /mnt/usb
It should have showed up as sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
then you can just use nautilus and open /mnt/usb
This may explain it better

May camera is not USB, it is Serial.
