So - I seemed to made something wrong. I thaught that the "cuaa0" and
"cuaa1" are already made from the system when I installed. On no
system I must "MAKEDEV" these two devices. This time I made and I can
work with "cu -l cuaa0".
But there is always a problem with the ppp dialing. If I start "ppp
ondemand" I get an message that "SIOCAIFADDR" already exists and it
doesn't work. What is this ???
