Hi Chris,

Check that the /dev/ttyUSB0 device exists. I think I may have had to make
some changes to my udev scripts, but it was a while ago so I am not real
sure.

Here is the relevant line from my udev scripts:
KERNEL="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/USB%n", GROUP="tty",
MODE="0660"

Cheers,

Roo.
