Hello,
Ive got laptop Toshiba Satellite A20-s103. There are no comms port, but 
3 USBs.
I need get to console to some server, so i purchased an USB-RS232 adapter.
My system recognized it, but i cant `cu` or `tip` to any machine... :(
Could somebody help me make it work?

Part of `dmesg`:
ugen0: Prolific Technology PL2303 Serial adapter (ATEN/IOGEAR UC232A), 
rev 1.10/ 2.02, addr 2

root# ls /dev/ugen0*
/dev/ugen0      /dev/ugen0.12   /dev/ugen0.2    /dev/ugen0.6
/dev/ugen0.1    /dev/ugen0.13   /dev/ugen0.3    /dev/ugen0.7

/dev/ugen0.11   /dev/ugen0.15   /dev/ugen0.5    /dev/ugen0.9
 
On a hardware notes ive read, that it needs a 'uplcom' driver, so i 
loaded it to kernel:
root# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    6 0xc0100000 3516a0   kernel
 2    1 0xc1e4a000 7000     linprocfs.ko
 3    1 0xc1ec0000 3000     daemon_saver.ko
 4    1 0xc1ec3000 15000    linux.ko
 5    1 0xc204c000 3000     uplcom.ko
 6    1 0xc2050000 4000     ucom.ko
 
And tried to connect... :
root# ls /dev/ucom0
/dev/ucom0

root# cu -l /dev/ucom0
cu: open (/dev/ucom0): Device not configured
cu: /dev/ucom0: Line in use
 
Tried to connect thru 'ugen' too... As you can see-no help.
root# cu -l /dev/ugen0
Connected.
cu: Got hangup signal
Disconnected.

root# cu -l /dev/ugen0.1
cu: open (/dev/ugen0.1): Device not configured
cu: /dev/ugen0.1: Line in use

root# cu -l /dev/ugen0.2
cu: open (/dev/ugen0.2): Device not configured
cu: /dev/ugen0.2: Line in use

root# cu -l /dev/ugen0.3
cu: open (/dev/ugen0.3): Device not configured
cu: /dev/ugen0.3: Line in use

Pls help.

Thanks,
Maciek
