Tony,
I have a Baycom USCC>4 card with modems 1x9k6, 2x1k2 (TCM3105)
and 1xok3/1k2(AMD7911) and might be able to help with some basic
testing.

Hello Debian Hams,
I am preparing an update for z8530-utils2 [1] and would like to address
this lintian warning with the next upload:
W: z8530-utils2: depends-exclusively-on-makedev depends
N:
N: This package depends on makedev without a udev alternative. This
N: probably means that it doesn't have udev rules and relies on makedev to
N: create devices, which won't work if udev is installed and running.
N: Alternatively, it may mean that there are udev rules, but udev was not
N: added as an alternative to the makedev dependency.
This would allow the package to install on systems that run udev.
However, I don't have any experience writing udev rules and don't have
the hardware to test it with anyway. I can find a few references to the
SCC cards on the web, for example [2]. And it appears that the kernel
knows about these things and expects them to be character devices,
device number 34 [3]:
34 char Z8530 HDLC driver
0 = /dev/scc0 First Z8530, first port
1 = /dev/scc1 First Z8530, second port
2 = /dev/scc2 Second Z8530, first port
3 = /dev/scc3 Second Z8530, second port
...
Is knowing the device number enough information to write the udev rule?
Thank you in advance for any ideas.
tony
