slackware 10.2 kernel 2.6.16 heisspf@xxxxxxxxxxx indirectly said: > What I needed was a file named 10-local.rules placed in the /sda3/etc/udev/ > rules.d subdirectory. All the file needed was the line following: > KERNEL="ttyS0", SYMLINK="modem" > Now the modem node in the /dev directory doesn't vanish anymore. > Will try it on next reboot It does not work, NAME="/dev/ttyS0" has to be added. However doing this then there are no /dev/ttyS*. Symlink /dev/modem points to a non existing file. Now I found that /dev/ttyS0 is a symlink to /dev/tts/0. So I changed NAME="/dev/tts/0" with the effect that then there is no /dev/tts/0 but only 1, 2 and 3. Now I am totally confused and back to rc.local command, ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem. Is there somebody to whom this males sense?
