##############################################################################
## Serial port settings

# use e.g. "/dev/mouse", "/dev/ttyS0", "/dev/ttyS1", ...
# Note: all "/dev/ttyXX" may be suffixed by the IRQ
# used (instead of the default one), such as "/dev/ttyS2 irq 5"
# or "/dev/ttyS3 irq 9". Default: ""

$_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0"
$_com2 = "/dev/ttyS1"
# $_com3 = ""
# $_com4 = ""

# tty lock directory. Empty string "" means no tty locks.
# default: "/var/lock"

$_ttylocks = "/var/lock"
