When I send a command to /dev/cua00 (my 14.4.modem connection), the TR lite comes on the modem but the BSD box is locked up tight. I can't seem to figure out how in the world changing a line in the ttys file can effect the /dev/ items but it must have as the only file touched was 'ttys'.....so.... For all of you who are using BSD and use a com port to dial OUT and establish a connection (with me it's a 14.4 24x7 ppp) what is the magic command to PERMANENTLY set the settings in the /dev/cuai00 or /dev/cua00 (I'm not sure which is used to keep settings). I issue the command "stty -f /dev/cuai00 57600" and the port holds that command until I reboot. Once I reboot, the speed is back to 9600 and all other settings have reset. If there is a "standard" list of settings for a typical 14.4 modem connection with BSD, what would they be. I'm quite certain my "stty -f /dev/cuai00" is not correct and that is why my system is hanging up when I send a command to the port. Thanks a million for any advice, my system has been up for 41 days and tonight I had to play with it. Now it's down and I just can't figure it out. John Brogan brogan@access.digex.net
