-4. create the devices corresponding to the "virtual" serial ports (take care,
- each modem has its configuration and some DLC have dedicated functions,
- for example GPS), starting with minor 1 (DLC0 is reserved for the management
- of the mux)::
-
- MAJOR=`cat /proc/devices |grep gsmtty | awk '{print $1}`
- for i in `seq 1 4`; do
- mknod /dev/ttygsm$i c $MAJOR $i

5. use these devices as plain serial ports.
for example, it's possible:
