It has ttyd0 set 'on' in ttys, and gettytab is fine and getty is running on the port (si0, com1,ttyd0 are all fine). I can 'talk' to and from the port to a PC 'dumb terminal' if I use 'ppp' I have ploughed through the FAQ and handbook but can't see what I am missing. I started off trying to get a modem 'dialin' setup but cannot even get a straight PC-PC connection to work. anyone have a sure fire way to debug the problem or know of an updated FAQ/handbook? Thanks Neil -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Neil J Long, Department of Materials, University of Oxford * Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PH, UK * EMail: Neil.Long@materials.oxford.ac.uk * Tel: +44 (0)1865-273678 Fax: +44 (0)1865-273789
