I have a PCI Lucent modem (internal) that I have successfully installed.
The device is /dev/ttyTLO (special module was loaded).
I have some fax software that has a picklist that only allows me to connect to devices ttyS01 to ttyS31.
Is there any way for me to reroute one of the ports ttyS01-31 to ttyTLO
so that I can use my modem with the software.
Or
is there a simpler way. (baring asking the supplier to add ttyTLO to his
picklist of devices)
You could create a symbolic link with ln. Like "ln -s /dev/ttyTLO /dev/ttyS01". -s option is to make the link symbolic (versus a hard link) and syntax is "ln <link_to> <link_filename>". Not sure if this is totally ideal, but may solve your prob :-).
