I have been rather confused after reading the documentation and the FAQ
(March 1993) for Linux. Some places the first serial port is referred to as
/dev/ttys0 and some places it is referred to as /dev/ttyS0. Are these just
typos and if so which one is correct???. In my /dev directory I have ttys0,
ttys1 etc. Did the device names change between releases?? I have the .99p4
release ( I know the current release is patchlevel 8, but I cannot afford the
time to reinstall Linux every three weeks when a new patchlevel is introduced!
