No, /dev/comX should be fine for cygwin (unless I've missed a recent change and the docs haven't yet been updated, but I don't think that's happened), and if it isn't, it's a cygwin bug. http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html "Cygwin also has several Windows-specific devices: /dev/comX (the serial ports, starting with COM1 which is the same as ttyS0)" cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
