So - I seemed to made something wrong. I thaught that the "cuaa0" and "cuaa1" are already made from the system when I installed. On no system I must "MAKEDEV" these two devices. This time I made and I can work with "cu -l cuaa0". But there is always a problem with the ppp dialing. If I start "ppp ondemand" I get an message that "SIOCAIFADDR" already exists and it doesn't work. What is this ??? >Please give me a chance and help me. Thanks. > >Sigi sigi@remsmurr.de
