On my system, /dev/dsp is owned by my user by default (user peter,
group root); and /dev/ttyS0 is owned by user root, group uucp (R/W for
both). You could add yourself to the uucp group to get access to the
ttyS0 device node:
# gpasswd -a username uucp
Hope that helps somewhat...
Hi Peter I did make my user name karl a member of
uucp but it still
can't use /dev/ttyS0 for some reason. Also it complains that /dev/dsp is
busy and can't be used. Does that make sense?
