Check this out.

[mark buttercup ~]$ ll /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw----  1 root uucp 4, 64 Jun 30 09:57 /dev/ttyS0

The only member of the group uucp is uucp.

The way I see it I can chown it, add my user accounts to the 
uucp group, change the permissions or make a symlink (or 
maybe a hard link) called ttyqe which is in the preferences 
drop down menu but doesn't exist.

What is the best/safest approach.
