[hcflinux] /dev/ttySHCF0 does not exist

[Karl Scheel]

Hi Celui,

If /dev/ttySHCF0 exists, but the modem is not found, it most likely means 
that you need to create a new link called "modem" in /dev that points to 
ttySHCF0; chances are that you already have this link already, but it 
points to ttyS0 (i.e., COM1) or ttyS1 (i.e., COM2). You need to erase this 
link and then create another one with the same name using the following 
command (Make sure that you are logged in as "root" and that you are in 
the /dev directory first.):

ln -s ttySHCF0 modem

Once the link is created, log in as user. You then need to configure kppp, 
gppp, wvdial, or whatever dialer program you are using to use the device 
called "/dev/modem", not "/dev/ttyS0" or "/dev/ttyS1" whenever it attempts 
to dial out to your ISP. However, if you are using a newer version of kppp 
or whatever, you may find that you are able to choose "/dev/ttySHCF0" from 
a list of device options; if this is the case, you may simply choose this 
this device directly, meaning you don't need to create a link as outlined 
above. I myself am using an older version of kppp that doesn't have this 
option, because the device "/dev/ttySHCF0" does not exist within its list 
of device choices, so I therefore needed to create this link in order to 
be able use that device from within kppp.

Regards,

Karl
