Typically, I use 'ln -sf' as my preferred method of linking. I guess that's
the method my fingers learned. It has the advantage '-f' of forcing the 
link, and we had to do that on some things.

Anyway, remember the order of arguments - that's probably the most important
thing. Otherwise the link goes in the opposite direction, and you'd end up
linking /dev/modem (which doesn't exist) to the /dev/ttySHSF0 file. (I'm a
bit curious as to why you'd link to this device. Is it a special type of
modem driver device? Usually one uses /dev/ttyS[0-4].

As root try # ln -sf /dev/modem /dev/ttySHSF0 (be sure about the order of
arguments.)


For more info, read the ln(1) manual page.
