type on one line;
cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV -n -v ttyS1
This should return something like;
create ttyS1 c 4 65 root:tty 666
create cua1 c 5 65 root:uucp 660
You can do it manualy with the 'mknod' command, however reading the man page
for 'mknod' will not help much tho', it's one of those obscure linux
"we think you should know howto do it man pages"
which was possably written many moons ago and has long been forgotten and
never updated to reflect to presant day needs.
