I have a modem installed on win com 4 and wish to set it up on linux ttys3/com4 but there is no ttys3 device link file. How do I create one or get my system to do it?
 
Hi,

Do as root :

# mknod -m 660 /dev/ttyS3 c 4 67
# chown root.uucp /dev/ttyS333

(make character device file of major 4 minor 67)

The chown is to create group ownership as used on Redhat - yours may be different - see :

$ ls -l /dev/ttyS0

to get an idea.....

Hope this helps
