The kernal has been compiled with IRQ 3, etc. I can use a shell to echo commands to /dev/tty01 and the modem responds correctly. Likewise, printf() works. My /etc/ttys has something very similar to (going by memory here) tty01 "getty ... 57600" dialup off local But when I try to use cu: #cu -l tty01 -57600 -x all (open port) (connected) (waiting, so I type any character and it returns:) "cu: fconn_write ... I/O error" (close port) Does anyone have any suggestions where I should be looking? Conf: Dell Dimension XPSP90, 2 X WD HD, NetBSD 1.0 as distributed, pseudo-device sl 2 pseudo-device ppp It is interesting to note that cu <system> where <system> is defined in /etc/remote according to remote(5) returns a host(?) unknown error, or something similar indicating that the lookup failed. Gary P.S. Is there a NetBSD-specific FAQ or another resource I could be looking at besides the 386bsd* FAQ/man pages? -- gtimuss@csc.uvic.ca CSCU Secretary <A HREF=http://www-engr.uvic.ca/~gtimuss/>Gary's Home Page</A>
