Hi,

I have Boca card and I have recompiled the kernel.

I am managing to use 12 ports out of 16.

Other ports I am not managing to use because it doesnot have the
"??" as discribe in the hand book. 

Para from Handbook

I get folloing  when I do ps -ax for the ttydf and ttydg ports

  171 df  IWs+   0:00.06 /usr/libexec/getty tp.57600 ttydf
  172 dg  IWs+   0:00.05 /usr/libexec/getty tp.57600 ttydg

Any suggestion in correcting this problem?
