Later we will switch the line to SLIP, and thus get news : and mail. This software all worked with 0.9, but with 1.0 the writes to the : device fail with code EIO. Likewise tip fails, so we can't even make the : connection and use slattach. Edit /etc/ttyflags and locate the line for the device, and add local. See man ttys, it is all in there.
