I am no expert on this but I guess that it is the same thing. ttyS3 is com port 4. ttyS03 is on the address and IRQ level of com port 4. Probably this is just a difference in representation. I checked this at my home linux box, and came to the same conclusions through grep as you posted here. ttyS00 does not exist either in /dev/ttyS*, ttyS0 does. S0 is com port 1, and S00 shows the address and IRQ level for com port one. That matches in the same way as S3 and S03. So my educated guess is that this is okay. They are the same. Paul
