Anyone know if it will be a problem using /dev/ttyUSB0 as the serial port? Baiscally if I want to duplicate the environment in which I'm getting the oops, I need to be dialed out. That takes out COM1. I never gt my COM2 to work (can't figure out what's wrong. doesn't work under windows either). So that's out. I have a Keyspan USB PDA adapter that I use for my Palm Vx which shows up as /dev/ttyUSB0. I guess if usb serial can't be used I'll try duplicating the oops w/o being dialed out.
