I know that since my modem is using com2 in DOS, it is using com1 in NetBSD. I did everything according to FAQ. But it seems like I don't have /dev/com1 port. And if I use com0 it gives me permission denied and "link down" errors. But, I saw the message when it was booting showing that I do have com0, com1,and com3. What is going on??????????? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Joan `man sio' The port names and device numbers have changed. You now should be using cua0?/ttyd? for modems and tty0? for hardwired terminals. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
