I'm following the procedure in the FAQ. Problem is when i get to the part where it says to do: chown uucp.dialer /dev/com0 chown uucp.dialer /dev/com1 I get an error. When i look in the /dev directory there is no com files nor are they anywhere else. There was a step prior to this where i edited /etc/remote with the lines: com0:dv=/dev/com0:br#9600 com1:dv=/dev/com1:br#9600 This isn't supposed to create the /dev/coms is it?
