I now understand my error. I'm sure I have read more than once that Linux "treats everything as a directory"; that threw me.
A directory? Maybe you read a translation :-? I think it should have said "a file". Everything appears as a special file under the /dev directory.
The last sentence in the above paragraph would have given me the same confusion. But I have got the hang of it now.
Ah? Sorry... Well, consider: the modem is the "file" /dev/ttyS1, for instance.
Depends... if you can access the devices, then no, you don't need to. Otherwise, yes. In any case, setserial runs on every start, so I suppose it did something.
I am pretty sure that I can access the modem device, because the modem's LEDs flashed madly when the YaST Hardware Information module was collecting information.
Probably. Then just try to use them :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
