I'm trying to use tip to access a modem connected on com1 so I can dailup our terminal server and startup slip. The only way I could have tip access /dev/com1 was to chmod com1 to 666. I finally was able to talk to the modem, dialed up our terminal server and started up slip. I suspended tip and tried to start up slip on the NetBSD machine by using slattach to /dev/com1, but I got an error from iocntl saying that this device is not supported. At this point I have run out of guesses. Could anyone give me the steps I am missing to get slip running? Thanks, Brian Moore ziff@eecs.umich.edu
