If you are running 5.x then that is quite outside my ken and you should not take my added notes to seriously.

And where does it pop up at the o= ther=20 end? Presumably you are calling out from the distant end with some sort o= f=20 software addressing /dev/cuua0.=20 The response end (the end that is being called) normally talks through=20 /dev/ttyd0 rather than /dev/cuaa0. > > that if getty completes the open port process then it changes from ??= in > > the PS screen to something it does not, so i am assuming that getty > > doesn't > > > realize that the connection has been established, any ideas? > The change from ?? to d0 will happen when getty gets the appropriate mode= m=20 control signals -- I'm not sure exactly what, probably 'carrier detect'. = Can=20 it be you have a problem in your modem cable? Or even some freaky modem=20 setting? If this is the case it "might" sort of work if you dissable the requireme= nt=20 for modem control signals using (at the answer end) # stty -f /dev/ttyd0 clocal Malcolm =20
