I just installed the arduino package on an 11.3-RELEASE system.  When
it comes up, the Tools/Serial Port menu item is greyed out,
apparently because it doesn't know USB ports serve as com ports,
or for some reason it can't find them.  Does anyone know what the
way around this is?

Thanks for any insights,

Gary
