Hi. I had an accident: I removed /dev/ttys1 (how stupid I am). How can I create it again, so I can symlink to modem and use ezppp? I think this is the right way, isn't it? The configurations of ezppp only show modem, cua1, cua2 .... I think cua1, cua2... are the name of the serial devices in another linux distribution. Am I right?
