This has stopped my outgoing SLIP connection script from working. What happens is that I have a script that calls chat to make the initial connection on /dev/cuaa1 if successful then the script calls slattach to change it into a slip connection. However, with ttyd1 added as above what appears to happen is that chat makes the connection OK; it then lets go briefly of /dev/cuaa1; getty then sees that there is a carrier on /dev/ttyd1 and grabs it seeing that /dev/cuaa1 is not in use; This then blocks slattach from opening /dev/cuaa1 Anyone got a work around?
