This is weird. As root using the --color option the
links are displayed in normal turquoise. But as user
the links are flashing white on red, indicating
missing links(?). 

ls -l /dev/ttyS*:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 19 10:07 /dev/ttyS0 ->
tts/0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 19 10:07 /dev/ttyS1 ->
tts/1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 19 10:07 /dev/ttyS2 ->
tts/2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 19 10:07 /dev/ttyS3 ->
tts/3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 19 10:07 /dev/ttyS4 ->
tts/4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 19 10:07 /dev/ttyS5 ->
tts/5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 19 10:07 /dev/ttyS6 ->
tts/6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 19 10:07 /dev/ttyS7 ->
tts/7

grep ttyS
/etc/udev/rules.d/*:

/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules:KERNEL=="ttyS[0-9]*",
NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/%n", GROUP="tty"


More weirdness: seems my provider file is wiped out
every time I reboot. Have to re-run pppconfig over and
over.

But it still won't dial-out as root or user, error is:

/usr/sbin/pppd: Couldn't stat /dev/ttyS0: Too many
levels of symbolic links. 

Over to you Richard.
