 The VModem script has been preconfigured to use **ttyUSB0** ​ as the default serial port name. Typically Raspbian will call its first serial port adapter **ttyUSB0** when using USB to Serial converters, and you won't need to modify this script. However, if the name is something **different**,​ such as **ttyAMA0**,​ you may need to update the script to point to the correct serial port name. The following section described how to double-check your serial port name: The VModem script has been preconfigured to use **ttyUSB0** ​ as the default serial port name.

-  * Some computers are not cabable of operating at fast serial speeds. If you're unable to connect at 28800 or faster, try slower speeds, such as 9600 baud at first. Adjust both the vmodem.sh script to 9600 and your modem serial speed to connect at 9600 baud. If that works, then work your way up to see where the limit for your specific computer is. 
-  * If you run into any other issues, take a note of them and look for commonalities in any steps you've taken before this step. Open up the script vmodem.sh for editing to make sure the baud and serial port are properly set. If you're unable to figure it out, feel free to contact me (see bottom of page).
