I'm working on a sample database to be included with modutils. For now, replace your serial aliases with: alias tts serial alias tts/* serial alias cua serial alias cua/* serial

Don't worry about it. As the message says, only tell me about it if there is a problem (related to the message, of course).

There is a section in the README/FAQ which talks about this.
