However, I did setup both 'gettytab' >and 'ttys'. I have a similar problem with dialup logins under FreeBSD-1.0R but on a standard serial port (not multiport) using sio drivers. The modem answers, getty responds and starts login, and login seems to change the tty to cs7 so the remote, which is set for 8-bit data, sees garbage. You may be experiencing the same problem. During a modem login attempt, try 'stty -f /dev/serial-device' and check for cflags: cs7. Is it login that sets the tty to 7-bit? If so, why? If not, then what's the culprit? Is there a simple solution? -- -- Todd Pfaff \ Internet: todd@flex.eng.mcmaster.ca Dept. of Mechanical Engineering \ Voice: (905) 525-9140 x22902 McMaster University \ FAX: (905) 572-7944 Hamilton, Ontario, CANADA L8S 4L7 \
