I just tried and it works fine, thanks a lot.

However, this second service is not started automatically at boot time
as I expected. Does somebody knowwhy,please?

At a more general level, I am wondering whether something would prevent
one to have one instance o brltty started automatically each time a
device gets plugged to the computer, instead of having to create a
service manually. At least for the modern devices that can be
autodetected, I'd tend to think this should be doable, but perhaps I am
missing something here?

Thanks!

Shérab.
