Re: [gentoo-user] where is /dev/ttyS* ?
I don't know whether this is off or on topic, but I noticed that my modem was assigned to a different ttySX w/ 2.6.16. I ran wvdialconf again, which identified the new /dev/ name, and it has worked flawlessly since. 2.6.X kernels have given me, at least, fits over /dev/ttySX. The /dev/ttyS device nodes are attached to /dev/tts/X . I don't know whether any of this is valid for anyone else or not. Perhaps it's something idiosyncratic about my setup.
