Fred, I think it is the 'uucp' group. If that fails, try the 'sys' group. My modem is /dev/ttyS1. Here is the way my serial ports are owned: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/david # ll /dev/ttyS* crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 2007-09-25 16:48 /dev/ttyS0 crw------- 1 uucp uucp 4, 65 2007-09-25 16:49 /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 66 2007-09-25 16:46 /dev/ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 67 2007-09-25 16:46 /dev/ttyS3 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 68 2007-09-25 16:46 /dev/ttyS4 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 69 2007-09-25 16:46 /dev/ttyS5 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 70 2007-09-25 16:46 /dev/ttyS6 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 71 2007-09-25 16:46 /dev/ttyS7 Also, depending on the application I often create the link 'ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem' to help the older software out....
