Ok, sez I, I'll just MAKEDEV cua02 (my modem). Bzzzt. It seems that : the "make tty" and "make cua" parts of the MAKEDEV script are mutually : exclusive. Each section rm's _all_ tty's and cua's before making anything! So : using MAKEDEV as written will land you either tty's or cua's, not both. : I was under the impression that cua's were simply another incarnation of the : tty's. Why can't they coexist? Is it safe to hack MAKEDEV to let me build : cua02 along with my tty's? (tty01 is my mouse port, after all!). And why on : earth was cua03 built when I made tty* - sio3 is even commented out in my : kernel! : Alec Could anyone out there kindly post the procedures that make tip talk to modem. I mean using cua??. I wonder why this is not in the faq? (FAQ only talks about how to use tip with tty?? and I heard we have to use cua?? nowdays for modem. Is this right?) BTW, I am using NetBSD-0.9...Thanks!... -Joan
