Ubuntu   creates /dev/ttyUSB0 for me  when
I plug in the usb-to-serial-adapter.   I have a
symbolic-link to /dev/ttyUSB0 from 'dosdevices/com1'.

What is new in 10.04 Ubuntu is that I have to sudo chmod o+r
and sudo chmod o+w on /dev/ttyUSB0 every time before I
start the app which uses that serial line.   ttyUSB0 goes away when
I unplug the serial adapter from the USB port or
shut down the laptop (with Ubuntu 10.04)!   And it comes back with
permissions    rw-rw---- when I plug in the adapter.
'dmesg' reports 'pl2303'  and Prolific 2303 USB to serial adapter driver
(in several lines of verbiage) when I plug in the adapter.

Back in 8.04 Ubuntu the 'other' read/write access and
ttyUSB0 stuck around across shutdowns of the laptop
and unplugging the adapter
(or else ttyUSB0 always came back with 'other' read/write,
I cannot recall which it really was).
