When I was using 386BSD, I used com1 (com2 in DOS) and every thing works well, however, under FreeBSD, when I look at the /etc/remote file, the last two lines start with "com00.......; com01........" something like this, I change these to sio00, sio01, and use the "cu" command using sio01 (com2 in DOS) and the connect message appeared. However, when I start typing, "Input/ Output error" appear and then disconnected. I know there is some news in this group have already discussed this aspect, but they are not so detailed, (please forgive my ignorance) can anybody please kindly tell me the solutions about this? I prefer FreeBSD than 386BSD but I really need to use my modem under it, please help. Looking forwards to hearing good news from you and thank you very much for your kindly attention. Thanks in advance. Best regards. Alex Lam (cs089613@comp.hkp.hk) n s
