I see that the "Cannot open /dev/ttyS14: device or resource busy" message is a common one.  And there are almost as many proposed solutions as there are instances.  There surely would be an easy way to do such a simple thing?   Nothing works for me.

Thanks for that tip. &n= bsp;I'll try that.  I like to have as many back-ups as
I can get.  If it were not for bad luck, I would have no luck= at all.
Well, there is the exception of my girlfriend.  She i= s the best thing,
person, to happen yet.
