You might try hardrake2, I'm typing this from memory, though, so it could easily be wrong. When I get home this evening, I'll check on it. Are you running devfsd? If so, it should create the links when you boot up. If not, you will probably have to create them manually. I'm not sure what you are trying to do with insmod. It's for inserting modules, but /dev/tts/0 isn't a module it's a device, (so it should sit there doing nothing). You want to create a symbolic link with something like "ln /dev/tts0 /dev/tts/0" or something along those lines (again, I'm not at a linux box today 8-( but if that's not correct and someone wants to submit the correct syntax, I won't be offended!).
I'll check this evening and if no one has corrected the above, I'll do so.

That's the serial ports on my Interesting. I just looked in /dev and DID find a directory called tts. Inside there, there is a 0 and a 1! ???

Actually, it might now be called harddrake2 Mine does not include the kudzu, but it does include hardrake. It is not included in the distro that I can find. > or something like that.
