Well, they traditionally start with 1, not 0, too. Or have cute little icons and no text. Or aren't labelled at all. I'm using one fairly well-known dual-port PCI serial board that silently interchanged the two ports on a rev change, with no labelling change at all ('cause there was no label!). Make your ttySx match *that*!
