The ttyd1 is only for *dial-in* connections (so that you can share a single modem for outgoing and incoming traffic, if desired). Both tip and cu pretty much suck as comms utilities. If you can get a copy of kermit from the ports collection, I think you'll find it a much nicer way of debugging your modem connection. -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
