This happens both at the console and by modem. : What should my next step be? Help! I hate to answer my own post, but I solved the problem! I rebooted with the fixit disk, mounted /wd0a, and looked in the /dev directory under tty*. Somehow tty had gotten corrupted, and didn't have the character bit set, nor the right major/minor device numbers. I'm sure this is a "newbie" problem, but I thought it might help someone in the same position. Thanks for all the help from this group and the FreeBSD Core team. Cam Bevis cbevis@blkbox.com
