First I added this line to :/etc/remote : com2:dv=/dev/tty01:br#38400: : This will let you use 'tip com2' to access your modem. ( If your modem is : connected to com1 change /dev/tty01 to /dev/tty00. ) : Then change the tty01 line in /etc/ttys to: : tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dailup off rtscts local : The tell you modem to ignore DTR. On my modem, a ZyXel, it was AT&D0. : Now typing 'tip com2' should let you talk to your modem. Some of these steps : moght not be needed/necessary, but this worked for me. I had a similar entry in /etc/remote and I still couldn't use tip or cu, that is until I added local and rtscts to the end of the tty00 entry in /etc/ttys and typed 'ttyflags -a'. No problems after that. Thanks. Btw, kermit DID work before I made any changes to the /etc/ttys file, much to my surprise. For the record, the whole process of installing the system, XFree86, and configuring everything was pretty painless and I offer many thanks to the people who helped make it that way. My own lack of knowledge was my only stumbling block. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert Drawsky rdrawsky@hulk.sfsu.edu San Francisco State University rob@csi.com
