my permissions on the machine that yesterday I could change back and 
forth on,

[root at localhost ~]# ls -l /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw----  1 root uucp 4, 64 Jul 12 15:11 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw----  1 root uucp 4, 65 Jul 12  2005 /dev/ttyS1

which now is stuck at ttyS0 and won't allow me to change, if I wanted 
to, to ttyS1. Fortunately, I don't need to on this machine. All other 
boxes, 1 at work, CentOS(default minicom installed) and 2 at home, 1 
FC3(either default minicom or compiled from source install) and 
centOS(default minicom install), are stuck on ttyS1 and won't change to 
ttyS0. The permissions on the work CentOS box for ttyS0 and ttyS1 are 
the same as above. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
