Date: 27 Aug 1993 13:38:30 -0500 Organization: Educational Computing Network, Illinois USA Lines: 17 Message-ID: <25lkb6$lnm@uxa.ecn.bgu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: uxa.ecn.bgu.edu I want to use slip, but first I need to figure out how to dial the slip server from my system running 386bsd. I've tried this: cu 1111111 -l/dev/com2 -s19200 This gives me the following error: lock open: no such file or dir all ports busy Someone told me to make a /usr/spool/lock & a /usr/spool/uucp dirs, but this didn't fix the probs. Help!
