Yes but the tty* names are made up in mint.cnf and can be anything. The
only /dev/ names you can depend on are the ones that mint has
automatically, and these are identical to the port names (/dev/modem1,
/dev/modem2 etc). Frank Bartel's "ordentliche Namen" aren't really
useful if you want to see characteristics of a port. :)

Of course, if one really wants to make a configuration script using
/dev/tty*, all that is needed to solve the problem is to ls -l the
/dev/tty? files. :-)
