Let the modem-manager program handle knowing which tty device to use,
that type of logic can usually only be detected after talking to the
device.
And what happens with your tool when in the near future, we want to talk
to those other device nodes because modem-manager knows what thoes ports
do and how to get the data out of them?
In short, you shouldn't have to do any of this.
thanks,
