Talking to the Modems | USRobotics NETServer/16, NETServer/8

Keep in mind that other programs on the host may use these pseudo-tty devices, but usually select the pseudo-tty drivers from the beginning of the list (for example, /dev/ttyp0, /dev/ try, and so on). In order to avoid conflicts, we recommend you select the pseudo-tty device drivers from the end of the list (for example, /dev/ttypf or /dev/ttyqe).
