After su-ing to the root user - you need to change directories to /dev and then chmod 666 NOT 777 - 777 would give the "nodes" in the dev directory <execute> permission which does not make sense for a device node.
To summarize.... su to root cd /dev chmod 666 ttyS0* Hope this helps 73 JB - WB8UFA ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.
