Ok, what does the XXX stand for?
A variable. You need to look in your devices directory or a resource manager program to derive the correct syntax for each USB->Serial cable's port. It will most likely change based on how many and which order cables were plugged in, and maybe the specific manufacturers and/or serial numbers of your USB->Serial cables.
I understand in linux tho devise is ttyUSB0.
Depends. I ran _one_ USB->Serial cable on Linux at home for a while. It would sometimes appear as /dev/ttyUSB0, sometimes as /dev/ttyUSB1. I had to either define two interfaces in Xastir and start up the correct one, or keep editing one interface to switch back and forth. A royal pain. I eventually went to a 4-port serial card and stopped using the USB->Serial cable. The usual way I determine the naming in Linux: Plug in a USB->Serial cable or a USB thumbdrive, then "tail -50 /var/log/messages" to see what syslog reports the new name as. -- Curt, WE7U. http://www.eskimo.com/~archer APRS Wiki: http://info.aprs.net/ _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
