Possible solution: mknod /dev/pilot c <major> <minor> Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot Please use --help for more information 2_Well, I know ttyS0 and ttyS1 do exist... [root@blue root]# setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0-4] /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 /dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3 /dev/ttyS4, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0 ?Advice please.. Should I make a soft link between ttyS0 and /dev/pilot...? or something with mknod? I did a man mknod, but do not understand what should be done. tia chris -- Certified Microsoft-free e-mail.
