Okay, I've got a question that doesn't directly relate to freebsd, but more to hardware... For some reason, when I use serial cables, some pin is not being asserted and therefore causing serial communications to fail when I try to connect my serial terminals... I don't know WHICH pin it is, but for some reason the terminals work okay when I change the line in /etc/ttys from ttydX to cuaaX where X is the port ID. I note that this only happens on my 25 pin ports, not on my 9 pin ones, which is really just weird. (And on two separate cards, one generic and one from Byte Runner) Any help appreciated.... -Dan Mahoney -- "Let me tell you something about regrowing your dead wife Lucy, Harry.
