The equivalent happens with non-devfs systems as well. /dev/ttyUSB[01] becomes "real" serial ports only after the PDA initiates a connection (either through HotSync or Network). Don't know why that is so. I think this behaviour is common to all PalmOS devices with USB cradles. -- Steven Yap <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
