Voltage Spike, On another list I'm on some one said: I'm having the same problem, I know what the answer is sort of. You have to create a sym link from /dev/usbtty? to /dev/pilot to get started. I did it before a couple of months ago but having a memory like a goldfish can't seem to replicate it now. Anyone else? Sounds easy enough to do. I looked in my handy-dandy Running Linux and saw that i just type the command ln -s and it gives me a symbolic link. Where do I do it from though? That was a good question that I figured was answered with the words, going to where I want the link to point. I then went to /dev/pilot. Guess what I discovered? There is no /dev/pilot . There is a dev/usb. In /dev/usb there is no usbtty. There is ttyusb0 - ttyusb15 in /dev/usb which are 0 bytes in length and they are located in /dev at 0 bytes in length also.. I'm lost in my own thoughts again. Pray tell, Where shall I go from here? ~:-()mike()-:~
