Read the 'sio' manpage; remember, we have documentation. 8) Actually, if you read through all our X doc, the "misc devices" sections of the handbook and FAQ, pretty much anyplace you might go to _initially_ find this documentation, you won't find it. It's been misplaced. :-) The sio manpage is all but buried for the new user (experienced with UNIX or not - doing an "apropos serial" does little to designate the `sio' entry as the "generic serial driver") and doesn't really make it as a substitute. Some of the basic info from sio(4) needs to go into the handbook, I think. Jordan
