    Hey all, I've got a bit of a techy type question here.

    I have a radio that's receiving data, outputting to a TNC which converts it to digital data and outputs to serial. I've got a serial to USB converter(simple inline), seeing as how the MBP doesn't have RS 232 ports.

    I'm having trouble accessing my USB ports in terminal, though, I tried using "ls /dev/tty.*" but all that comes up is the bluetooth. I thought that the usb ports would show up here also. What do I need to do to get in touch with my usb ports?
