Hello. A few questions w.r.t. NetBSD running on a 486 box. The first
two involve device communications, and the last is an emacs question.
( I apologize if these questions have been asked before elsewhere; )
( I'm new to this news group as well as being new to NetBSD, so... )
First, I'm trying to TIP out through an internal modem (U.S. Robotics
Sportster) and I'm experiencing these problems:
1) I can't change the speed of tty00 (or tty01 for that matter),
e.g., this has no effect (I have commented out associated lines
in /etc/ttys):
# stty 19200 < /dev/tty00
# stty < /dev/tty00
speed 9600 baud;
lflags: echoe echoke echoctl
iflags: istrip
cflags: cs7 parenb
#
2) When I attempt a TIP anyway (at the unchangable speed of 9600)
I get the following error message (what does it mean and how
do I fix the problem?):
# tip com0
/dev/com0: Permission denied
link down
# ls -l /dev/com0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 5 Sep 15 22:15 /dev/com0 -> tty00
# ls -l /dev/tty00
crw------- 1 root wheel 8, 0 Sep 17 00:15 /dev/tty00
#
Now the Emacs question:
3) I am trying to compile Emacs 18.59. I'm using m-intel386.h and
s-bsd4-3.h (modified to use the kernel name "netbsd", not "vmunix").
3a) are these the right files to use (for a 486)?
3b) when I compile, I don't get very far. Any help will be appreciated!
