Sluggers,
I recently bit the bullet and purchased a USB telephony modem, a Netcom Roadster v.92 USB.
I plugged it into my FC4 linux server and volia, lights camera action! I was impressed
(and a little surprised). The system creates the device driver /dev/ttyUSB0 and using
Minicom and directing it at this "serial" port I'm able to communicate with the modem.
:-)
Ok "so what" you say, I'm just a happy little penguin at the moment because the previous
USB modem that I purchased (a D-Link) was an abject failure.
Question.
When I purchase a second USB modem and plug it in, I assume that the device ttyUSB1 will
be created and I will also be able to access this modem. Is there anyway to determine /
define which modem gets to be which device? If/when the server is re-booted for example.
Each modem will obviously be connected to a particular phone line / number and I wish to
be able to know that;
USB0 == phone# xxxx-xxxx
USB1 == phone# yyyy-yyyy
TIA's
Pete
