AVR-Chat

Not one of my USB/serial dongles creates a single /dev/cuxxxxxx file, 
not one.  Did you have to do something special to get the driver to 
create those files?  Is there something I have to turn on in the OS to 
get this to happen?  I've installed the very latest Prolific driver, it 
did nothing, I can't find one for Entrega and Keyspan does not admit to 
ever making the dual USB/serial dongle that I have (it is about 7 years 
old I think.)

HOW did you get the driver to make those files?  If they existed then I 
could get lots of things to work, but they never get created.

thanks,
DLC
