Actually, my GPS is /dev/ttyUSB0 and dmesg reports the serial converter as /dev/ttyUSB1. I noticed soundmodemconfig didn't have an entry for that but the prog allowed me to write it in. Here's my soundmodem start up script: #!/bin/bash # This will launch soundmodem and change # the permissions on/dev/soundmodem0 soundmodem & sleep 1 chmod 666 /dev/soundmodem0 I call the script with this command: sudo ./start-tnc.sh I also (as root) just tried this command (a shot in the dark): chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB1 The error I get with the start-tnc.sh script is: Device "/dev/ttyUSB1" neither parport nor serport sm[14360]: cannot start PTT output I'm pretty new at this ubuntu linux stuff - am I missing something?
