Are you saying then, that I should have a /dev/ttySx on my system. If by homebuilt you meant that I downloaded the LiveCd and stage3 and then downloaded the entire tree, yes that is what I did. What I am asking is should I have a /dev/ttySx or do I need to set it up? If I should have it, what might have been some general ideas on where I went wrong? >If you're using a homebuilt, you shouldn't ever need to reference a >serial port. Well, that's assuming you didn't compile serial device >support in to the kernel which is why you wouldn't have a /dev/ttySx. >Nope, it's really very easy to do as I just did it myself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryce C" To: "PLUG" Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 6:33 PM Subject: Re: LIRC
