the 5.4 kernel appears to support rocketport simply by including "device rp" in the kernel compile, after which devices like: /dev/ttyR[0-9a-f] /dev/ttyiR[0-9a-f] /dev/ttylR[0-9a-f] /dev/cuaR[0-9a-f] /dev/cuaiR[0-9a-f] /dev/cualR[0-9a-f] get created. would someone please advise the purpose of the "iR" & "lR" devices? also, comtrol has some kind of support for the 5 kernel on their ftp site; with a few instructions on how to remove some existing files, add some of theirs, and re-compile the kernel. their instructions suggest that ports are: /dev/ttyC* and /dev/cuaC* when following _their_ instructions, a fresh kernel compile crashes. I see someone posted a question WRT the compile crash back in 1/24/05. there were no responses. I would like to confirm that the existing FreeBSD settings for rocketport support do indeed work, and that it isn't necessary to go thru comtrol's compilation routine. TIA Jim
