And there was how to solve the problem: Short of putting ln /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem into rc.local. Quote I finally found the recipe I needed in a ubuntu forum, using google. What I needed was a file named 10-local.rules placed in the /sda3/etc/udev/rules.d subdirectory. All the file needed was the line following: KERNEL="ttyS1", SYMLINK="modem" Now the modem node in the /dev directory doesn't vanish anymore.
