I expected to find definitions in /dev/ttys for tty0x - ttyxx but there are only ttydx and ttypx. Also there are no tty 0x - ttyxx files in /dev. Should there be? Should I create these - if so, how? I would use the ttydx files but I can't get a pc to work as a terminal if I do. Is this maybe a result of the modem specific driver trying to communicate using a very basic null modem cable (ie only lines 2 and 3 connected, reversed). Any help gratefully received. Thanks, Stuart
