Hi Andinet,

In igstkSerialCommunicationForPosix.cxx the communication device name  
has been limited to /dev/ttyS0 to 7 since according to the log  
"..users are not allowed to change the values..." (ref. Bug 6652)

However when using NDIs Polaris Spectra with Mac OSX and NDIs usb  
driver (FTDIUSBSerialDriver) the communication device will get a name  
like /dev/tty.usbserial-0000101D etc. where the last numbers will  
differ depending on which usb port the communication cable is plugged  
into.
Hence, I think there should be a way for the user to specify the  
communication device name.
