Roy,
When
$ sudo modprobe agrmodem
$ sudo modprobe agrserial
there is dynamically created the port
$ ls -l /dev/ttyAGS3
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 62, 67 2008-02-11 22:31 /dev/ttyAGS3
which is not read-writeable as is by an ordinary user.
$ sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyAGS3
does the desired change
$ ls -l /dev/ttyAGS3
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 62, 67 2008-02-11 22:31 /dev/ttyAGS3
is now read-write to all.
This can only be achieved automatically, by including the
chmod a+rw /dev/ttyAGS3
in some bootup script. I'll work one out for you by the weekend.
Am very busy with all day meetings and travel till then.
