Hello,

I am having problems getting the /dev/com1 device setup to us SLIP.
I first "stty -f /dev/com1 -hupcl". I Then via Kermit I try to "set 
line /dev/com1". At this point I get an error message "/dev/com1: Sorry,
access to lock denied". I have tried to re-boot the system and this did
no work. What do I need to do to clear this? I got dev/com1 into this 
mode when Kermit hung on me(at that point, I had to reset the system
to recover).

Thanks,
Angelo

P.S. I am using NetBSD.
