This may help answer your question, from $ man MAKEDEV - Serial Devices ttyS{0..63} Serial ports and corresponding dialout device. For device ttySx, there is also the device cuax which is used to dial out with. This can avoid the need for cooperative locks in simple situations. http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.5 Lists /dev/cua as being "obsolete" but shows how to create them with "mknod" I've never messed with dosemu so can't tell you what to do with the info but thought it might be helpful. Someone else will probably point the way better than I. kent -- To know the truth is to distort the Universe. Alfred N. Whitehead (adaptation)
