MAKEDEV works only in the current directory. (This is intention, it should be possible to create device nodes outside /dev, e.g. for testing.) MAKEDEV does only accept pseudo-names for the devices. Look into the script if you don't understand what i mean. There's no such device as tty00 (even though MAKEDEV does accept this name, for historical compatibility). It used to be the same as ttyd0 anyway, so now only the latter has been retained. The corresponding callout device (preferable device for use when calling out with a modem program) is /dev/cuaa0, btw. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de [private: http://www.sax.de/~joerg/]
