What is the proper behaviour for /dev/usb/* entries with USB-to-serial
adapters and devfs? Do the /dev/usb/tts/* entries only get created
when some device at the other end of the cable somehow initiates a
connection?

I was hoping to be able to connect via null modem cable to the serial
port on a Sun box. My laptop only has USB ports, no serial, so I got a
USB-to-serial adapter, but so far that is not working, since there are
no /dev/usb/tts entries for minicom to connect to.

Any way around this?

Thanks

Mark
