Steve, My apologies. My remark about AGR3 was from memory while I was not under Linux. Now checking under Linux while monitoring with: $ sudo /var/log/messages & $ sudo modprobe agrserial Jul 19 10:53:55 marvlap kernel: [ 589.183881] agrmodem: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. Jul 19 10:53:55 marvlap kernel: [ 589.189511] * Hello Agere Driver ** Jul 19 10:53:55 marvlap kernel: [ 591.966714] ttyAGS3 at I/O 0x400 (irq = 3) is a AgereModem Jul 19 10:53:55 marvlap kernel: [ 591.967579] Loading module Agere Modem Interface driver version 2.1.80.0 (2008-10-31) --------- i.e. ttyAGS3 is correct. The creation of ls -l /dev/ttySAGR lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2009-07-19 10:50 /dev/ttySAGR -> /dev/ttyAGS3 is automated by virtue of the file /etc/modprobe.d/agrsm.conf with line: install agrserial /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install agrmodem ; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install agrserial && \ test -e /dev/ttySAGR || ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR note that the \ specifies a line break, but the previous section should be on a single line.
