RE: Better way to send SMS using gnokii

[Szabo, Tamas]

Has netsaint read/write access to /dev/ttyS0?
Who is the owner of /dev/ttyS0? (ls -l /dev/ttyS0 ;-)

For me it is root:dialup, so every user who wants to use gnokii should be
add to dialup group. (or root but I don't recommend :-)

Sza2
Problems with Windows - Reboot.
Problems with Linux       - Be root.
