What does "ls -l /dev/ttyS0" say? If it is like my system, it probably says (date is unimportant): crw------- 1 root root 4, 64 Jul 15 14:46 /dev/ttyS0 And you want: crw-rw---- 1 root fax 4, 64 Jul 15 14:46 /dev/ttyS0 You'll probably need to (read the manpages and): # chgrp fax /dev/ttyS0 # chmod g+rw /dev/ttyS0 -- Seneca seneca-cunningham@rogers.com
