Hi,

I'm using FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on a 486DX40. The modem is connected to a
16550-UART on com2 and I have the following problem:

The hardware-handshake is not when dialing in, so filetransfers will be
aborted due to timeouts.

I added the line 'stty crtscts' to my .profile and it works, but a
uucp-coonection won't read a .profile .

I think that there is a solutio with modifying /etc/rc.serial but I
don't know, what the [cua|tty][il]* stands for.

Any help is really appreciated,

Michael
