i have been trying to get my modem (PCTEL)working for two days. The modem driver installs so called 'character device'(?) ttyS15 by default. But i dont have ttyS15. i coundnt make it use ttys0. Is there a way to create a new char device named ttyS15? Thanks in advance.

As root you could try using mknod /dev/ttyS15 c 4 m 79 ...for more information consult man mknod and devices.txt under /usr/src/linux/Documentation.Hope this helps.
