when I compile he object, I've set comport 0 for the keyspan, so try 
comport 0

/dev/ttyS1 is linux serial port, I don't know if it's the same as Windows,

so you mean you want to use the comport object in Max also? In Max,

Max list instead.

in you osx /dev, if you correct install the keyspan, there should 
/dev/key.US18..... (sth like that), comport 0 belongs to that port.
