George, usbserial is not supposed to be run from the command shell. rather, it should be included in the /etc/modules file, read the article slowly and carefully.

Thank you very much!

What could be the substitute of ‘usbserial’ in ubuntu 9.04?
this module is no longer available from the command shell.

the correct way is written on the blog post, as follows:

“As you can see, the new serial port device is mapped to /dev/ttyUSB0. You can instruct Ubuntu to load this module automatically by include the line : “usbserial vendor=0×4348 product=0×5523? inside “/etc/modules” file.”

Thanks! Your clear instructions were easy to follow, and they work!

So what is the right way to make this happen on every boot?

newer versions of wine don’t have or use a wine.conf or winerc…

from the WineHQ site (http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/misc-things-to-configure), here’s how you do it:
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

or…com2, com3, etc.

@Toby

I’m assuming your talking about under wine?
If so it’s very easy, add the following to wine.conf

[serialports]
Com1=/dev/ttyUSB0

Obviously you can change Com1 to 2 3 4 etc

Amazing info.

I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to map ttyusb# to a ttys# and make it persistant.
