Linux: Checking COM Port status

[gjacobse]

I have a program that updates my radios; and for a while now I've used Windows to do so. But I've wanted something cross platform. I'm not a major Linux users, but I am getting through things, and finding what I need.

But to use the program, it needs to know what COM Port the USB cable is.

To check what COM port:

$ dmesg | grep tty

Returns:

[    0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 1793.759594] usb 3-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

My USB programming cable is on ttyUSBB0

I'm learning..
