Hmm my Modem is just working ... ok I didn't try it using the pattern ttyd .. But as far I can read and understand the script, it should be possible to say MAKEDEV cua00 and then it fails ... If you install FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 "fresh" then the MAKEDEV script is called after inserting the 2nd or 3rd floppy ... and one should assume, that it's called correct to create the com0 and com1 ports ... But these devices _are_ missing after a complete new installation ... so I think there _is_ something wrong with the MAKEDEV script ... -- Andreas Klemm /\/\____ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH andreas@knobel.knirsch.de ___/\/\/ andreas@wupmon.wup.de (Unix Support)
