What you need
- Dial Box
- Power supply for the dial box
- Serial to USB adaptor

/dev
can cause problems.
What to do
- add users to appropriate group for
/dev/tty*
files (dialout
) - connect dial box and power supply

/dev/ttyS0
- create symlink
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS0
- Start
O
, check if dials work.
