I am new to the BSD platform of Unix, I have several years experience 
with SCO but it feels like I have started over from scratch, please 
excuse my ignorance.  I have been trying to configure a local uucp 
dial-up mail feed using FreeBSD 2.0.5 and Taylor UUCP with little 
success.  I can get the dial-up to work with any user at any speed for 
standard login, but when uucico takes control of the port and I have 
tried every device that seems to relate to comm 2, the connection 
crashes and The uucico process hangs.  I have to manually kill it to get 
the port to reset.  Anyone have any ideas of where I am messing up or 
books I can refer to to get a better handle on the serial device 
structure of BSD?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Later,
