|The permissions for the ttyS* device files are the following:
|
|crw------- 1 root tty 4, 64 Jul 17 11:45 /dev/ttyS0
|crw------- 1 root tty 4, 65 Jul 17 13:26 /dev/ttyS1
|crw------- 1 root tty 4, 66 May 5 1998 /dev/ttyS2
|crw------- 1 root tty 4, 67 May 5 1998 /dev/ttyS3

|I don't know whether is wise to change anything here. Maybe this
|additional information is of interest:
Sorry, I forgot about the device file permissions. I don't have a problem
with changing permissions, if someone else does then he's welcome to speak
up and say exactly why. The command chmod 666 /dev/ttyS1 should do
the trick. The permissions then will be
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 65 Jul 17 13:26 /dev/ttyS1
The permissions are changed to crw-r--r-- during the connection and
back again when pppd is done.
