That would make sense as /dev/ttys0 is the slave side of a pseudo tty and
doesn't have _anything_ to do with the serial port device /dev/ttyS0.
Unix is _case_sensitive_.

Terry maybe a quick note at the beginning of AX25-HOWTO about case
sensitivity would be in order? I know it is a linux-newbie thing but quite
a lot of people migrate from operating systems that haven't yet discovered
the difference in upper and lower case letters...
