I have done a little searching and it appears that older devices make use of a USB to Serial converter to provide the interface, and these appears as /dev/ttyUSB? .....  where "?" is a number.

Newer devices apparently have an on-chip USB port, and these appear to the system as /dev/ACM?

I don't have devices to test out, but it would seem from your test above, that inserting the device, running that ls command, and running the command without the devices inserted, should show - at minimum - which type of interface is being used by a particular device -----  ttyUSB or ttyACM.

That should help narrow it down to a few options for the user.

Of course please bear in mind that I have no personal experience of the above and am basing it on my interpretation of what I read .....  in other words YMMV   ;)

regards.

Only question I have is how to determine what device node is correct, besides trying them all in turn ......   surely there must be some means of determining the correct /dev/tty??? or whatever to make setting this up much easier?

Found the answer this question :

Code: [Select]
[root@localhost chuck]# wvdialconf wvtest

Found a modem on /dev/ttyUSB0.
Modem configuration written to wvtest.
ttyUSB0<Info>: Speed 9600; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"
ttyUSB3<Info>: Speed 9600; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"

I did not copy the entire printout- just the last two lines.
Both of the settings will work

Thanks Ramchu for posting that.

I think that then completes the information someone would need to set things up without guessing.

regards.    ;)
