|Sparc manual???

In Suns System and Network Administrator manual is described, what to do.
Briefly: You don't need ttysoftcar if you have Solaris 1.1 == SUN OS 4.1.3.

You have to create /dev/cua0 and /dev/cua1 manually with the correct
permissions and the correct major and minor device number.
/dev/cuaX are now the outgoing lines, /dev/tty{a,b} the incoming ones.

Finally you have to modify /etc/{ttytab,gettytab} for your needs.

If you have the manuals ... read it. If you have further problems I can
send you my configuration via email.
