You can make a link like this cd /dev ln -s ttyS1 modem that's assuming your second serial port is on ttyS1 or you could reconfigure minicom to talk to /dev/ttyS1 instead of modem. There are other params you need to change in minicom anyway and changing modem device won't be hard. On Tue, Jan 29, 2002 at 12:44:29PM -0600, John J.
