Of course it made sense. The current situation doesn't. :)

Unless we're talking about a server configuration where you might want
things pretty much locked tight as default. :) ...

Thanks Tim for proving my memory isn't that bad... I'd have remembered if I
had to fiddle with permissions to get access to the serial port.

Anyway... moving on.... I'm trying to find what else I need to do to have
*any* program talk to my dial-up modem. My plan is to set up a dial-in
server, but first I need to know if the POTS RJ11 port of my FTTH ONT
supports data calls, as I suspect it does, and to do that I need to try
dialing some dial-up ISP....

So far the modem is laughing at me. "see?, Linux guys and their
permissions!" it said.

;)
