$ ls /dev/ttyS? -l
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root            5 Dec 15 02:46 /dev/ttyS0 -> tts/0
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root            5 Dec 15 02:46 /dev/ttyS1 -> tts/1
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root            5 Dec 15 02:46 /dev/ttyS4 -> tts/4

kppp gives entries to:
ttyS[0-3]

Isn't there inconsistency here? My modem for example uses ttyS4 and I had to 
ls -s /dev/ttyS4 to /dev/modem and use it from kppp. Isn't it better to have 
a /dev/ttyS4 link from kppp itself?
