- A: Yes. You do not need to alter anything in your DEI-1 setup. However,
you should contact GNP and obtain a special
device driver diskette for the SerialSmart. This device driver will create
ports (device names) called /dev/ssm00, ssm01 etc.
You can continue to use the ports /dev/tty00, tty01,
etc., created by the DEI-1 driver.
