   cd /dev

   ln -s tty01 tty00


   You might need to delete tty00 first, but when you are done, but when
you are done, tty00 is tty01.

  This is a bit ugly, so most people create a symlink for /dev/modem
pointing to whatever port the modem is on, and just move the symlink if
the modem needs to be moved.  The tell all software to use /dev/modem
