Hi everyone. I just upgraded from 386BSD 0.1 to NetBSD 0.9, and I am,
as expected, running into a few problems.
After fiddling around with tip and /etc/remote for a while, I got tip to
work....with com0. My modem is on com1 (cables are not compatible, I would
need to go buy an adapter).
So when I go 'tip com1', it goes to remote, and then looks for /dev/com1.
Funny thing, though, /dev/com1 doesn't exist..Where is it???
Can I build it somehow? I have all the src dists, and everything, but I
can't get much going without some sort of telecom...HELP!!
Writing from my trusty XT under DOS, Colin.
