Hadn't seen this. You are right it has to be /dev/ddyS01
Heh, more typos :-). On my system the serial ports are /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyS2 I do notice, however, that in the kernel messages during bootup it lists ttyS00, ttyS01, etc, (note the preceding '0'), but I have no idea why. COM1 is usually /dev/ttyS0 too. HTH, -D
