I think he's actually asking why his COM1 is ttyS00 and not ttyS0. Sorry I cannot explain why this would be??? I have three COM ports... ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS2....something like that. Actually, you can use pppd. Here is a sample line I use... /usr/sbin/pppd -detach crtscts lock local novj proxyarp passive \ 192.168.1.110:agenda /dev/ttyS0 115200 noauth local Mark Hurley
