Re: [gentoo-user] wvdial: dialup for users

[Alan E. Davis]

I've been plunking around with this.  I tried what may be a brute force
method: change the permissions of /dev/ttyS14.  But /dev/ttyS14 is a link to
/dev/tts/14.  I now see that is a devfs rendering?  I thought I do not have
support for devfs, and I am trying to use something  else.

Anyway, is it possible my problems are related to this issue?

I see that the "Cannot open /dev/ttyS14: device or resource busy" message is
a common one.  And there are almost as many proposed solutions as there are
instances.  There surely would be an easy way to do such a simple thing?
Nothing works for me.
