I looked at a few FAQs and have been over the You say it can see sio0? That would be equivalent to COM 1, however it would not be tty01, it would be the tty00/ttyd0 pair, tty00 for outgoing and ttyd0 for incoming (If my memory serves me). I think for uni-directional (just incoming or just outgoing) you can use tty00, as I have on my home system. If the 'device' /dev/ttyd0 does not exist, do as root: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV ttyd0 or # ./MAKEDEV tty00 I think you also need to do a 'stty -f /dev/ttyd0 clocal' before using the com port. Whichever you use, be consistant. Next edit /etc/ttys and turn on the appopriate tty, then do a 'kill -1 1' to make it active. Make sure you are using a null modem cable between you PC and Terminal. I currently have a similar setup using FreeBSD-1.1.5 at home. What I have is: On a 386Dx40 8MB/340MB tty00 - Mouse tty01 - Serial Printer tty02 - Modem tty03 - Terminal Hope This helps. | Ted Wisniewski INET: ted@oz.plymouth.edu | | Computer Services or | | Plymouth State College tedw@psc.plymouth.edu | | Plymouth NH, 03264 |
