I've seen some win-modem drivers set up the device as /dev/ttyS14 (although since it was on COM1 you'd expect it to be found at /dev/ttyS0).

Unfortunately vendor supplied drivers like this one are more often than not really bad. -- Regards, Adam Allen. adam [at] dynamicinteraction.co.uk pgp http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x553349DB
