My machine has an internal modem on sio0 (not found), a mouse at sio1 (found, but it's a mouse), and an available port at sio2 (not found). I don't have the full source distribution yet, and some of the suggestions refer to sio.c, so I can't try those. Running sh MAKEDEV ttyd0 (and cua00, and others) doesn't set up the port. But I found that, even though my printer is found on lpt1, the lpr command won't run. The port is valid because I can cp to /dev/lpt1 and the text prints. So, I guess the first question is, should I get the complete src distribution and massage the kernel for the serial ports? Second, is there a problem with lpr? Third, I'm getting the distribution from wuarchive. Should I get it elsewhere? Thanks for any help/faq pointers.
