I guess at the AT command level you can distinguish the phones pretty easily. Might be that the layer of using /dev is just not the right one to solve your problem. Usually devices with all-the-same properties are identified by the physical connection path. But that allows no re-config, not even for a single device, and therefore might be not the right thing to use to solve some setups. Serial ports have both types of persistent identifiers in udev. /dev/serial/by-id/ + by-path/ http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=bc4c751802147f1ff21bf52a57a2976754949453 Kay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
