    That will work, but (1) it's no easier than just making the symlink
by hand, and (2) it uses the cua devices.  I prefer using the ttyS
devices, even in the 2.0.x kernels, to avoid messing things up in the
inevitable migration to 2.2.x, which has done away with
/dev/cua*--that's just one less thing to break.
