That's simply fixed by chmod-ing your ttyS 
in your system startup script.  That will 
automatically set your ttyS to the correct 
value.

AFAIK, it's just like setting up a network
connection (insmod, ifconfig, route add).
That's for network connections to the
broadband router -- USB connections to 
broadband routers are very different
(and should be avoided).

Why?  BL3 has the sylpheed package (which I 
use daily) and Opera has a built-in mail client.
