Unless you create a symlink com4 has no meaning on Linux. On Linux use DEVICE=/dev/ttyUSB3. This is similar to what you have in the config for the SCS? port.

Hi all,
I just added a new Kantronics KAM XL to the modem/interface set I have already run with LinBPQ. The KAM is wired as a forth one device, /dev/ttyUSB3 (COM4). But BPQ fails to initialize it:
Initialising Port 01 Telnet Server
Initialising Port 02 SCS Pactor /dev/ttyUSB1
Initialising Port 03 TCPKISS IP 127.0.0.1 Port 8001 Chan A
Initialising Port 04
UZ7HO Host 127.0.0.1 Port 8000 Chan A
Initialising Port 05
UZ7HO Host 127.0.0.1 Port 8000 Chan B
Com Open Failed: No such file or directory
Initialising Port 06 KAM Pactor com4 com4 could not be opened
The new port is defined this way:
PORT
ID=AMTOR, GTOR, P1
TYPE=EXTERNAL
IOADDR=4 ; COM Port Address (Note this is in hex, so for COM20 enter 14
SPEED=38400 ; COM Port Speed
DRIVER=KAMPactor
INTERLOCK=1 ; ; Optional - set if you have two ports sharing the same radio.
; Set the same Interlock value on both ports.
CONFIG ; Driver-Specific Configuration
#APPL RMS ; Autoconnect to BPQ32 RMS Application
#RIGCONTROL COM2 19200 ICOM IC700 70 4 14.103/U1W 14.112/U1 18.1/U1N 10.12/L1
#OLDMODE ; Optional - Causes controller to be set to PACTOR mode instead of TOR mode
XMITLVL 50/35;
ENDPORT
Interestingly, the KAM opens without any problem in a terminal (minicom) with the same port settings:
minicom -b 38400 -D /dev/ttyUSB3
Welcome to minicom 2.8
OPTIONS: I18n
Port /dev/ttyUSB3, 14:27:04

Any advice? Tnx!
