When it boots it says it finds "sio0" and "sio1" at interrupts 4 and 3. I added: com1:dv=/dev/tty00:br#38400 com2:dv=/dev/tty01:br#38400 to /etc/remote and tried using tip to access them. It sat for a minute then came back with a link down. I then looked at /dev/tty0? and they were using major number 23 and I though they were supposed to use 8. I ran "MAKEDEV com1" and then "MAKEDEV com2" and it recreated /dev/tty0? using major number 8 (I didn't change the MAKEDEV script). Now when I try tip I get /dev/tty00 (or /dev/tty01): device not configured. What do I need to do to get them to work? On a DIFFERENT machine I have an internal modem that doesn't get recognised on boot up. Any ideas? Thanks for any help. -=Chris=- -- ==== ==== = Christopher C.
