I wired up a null modem cable, etc., and set up /etc/ttys as per the FAQ. Nothing. I tried a few different speeds on both ends. Nothing. Presently I don't have a way of testing either machine's serial ports but I'll try to find something soon, nonetheless I know the serial driver is working correctly under FreeBSD because the modem on cuaa1 works. Perhaps this is an issue about line control signals? Let me know if anyone has any ideas... thanks :) -- Matt "Zigg" Behrens | "The only thing I hate more than behrensm@river.it.gvsu.edu | tailgaters are people who go really slow zigg@iserv.net | in front of me." http://www2.gvsu.edu/~behrensm | - A.
