Someone should look a the kernel makefile - I shouldn't have to recompile every object file whenever some minor change is made to the configuration. Commercial Unix's don't distribute kernel source, and they just as many options. > From my experiences, if not: > > cd /dev > sh MAKEDEV cua03 > > Then instead of choosing /dev/tty* use /dev/cua03 in your > communications program (I use minicom), and that should correspond > to com4 and all should be well. > > I hope this helps. > Thanks; it did. Apparently, the Slip FAQ needs updating - I recall it saying in one place to use /dev/tty01, and using /dev/cua01 as an example in another. And I would've thought the distributed configuration would've made all four sio devices, since the kernel had them in the configuration. Dave Boynton
