Lines: 27 Originator: ahogben@mirage Can anyone help me get a telebit worldblazer talking to netbsd (0.8) and taylor uucp (please :-)? (Yes, I've already checked the FAQs.) What I've done - /etc/gettytab is unchanged. /etc/ttys changed to read 'com0 "/usr/libexec/getty D19200" dialup on'. Taylor uucp is compiled and all the config files have been set up. Serial card has 16550 uart. What happens - Every time I just try to test things by doing cu and 'at&v' to dump the register settings, it goes into a wild loop, scrolling the screen and displaying the registers as well as garbage, asking for a login and (many times) eventually hanging. Obviously dialing out is hopeless (doing cu doesn't even take the modem 'off hook')! What have I missed? Suggestions, solutions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Andy BTW every time I reboot, do a 'kill -1 1' or various other things, the ownership of /dev/com* is changed to root. Why? How do I prevent it? -- Andy Hogben ahogben@informix.com Informix Software, Inc.
