Well, as I reported before, my Ethernet problems turned out to be a very simple, basic, configuration problem. Now my top priority is a serial line problem that is probably equally basic. (As I said before, I'm -very- new to FreeBSD and unix-on-PCs - questions on the order of 'did you plug it in' are not out of line...) The symptom is that I can't seem to read anything from the serial lines. I've run a cable to my SPARCstation, and fired up a kermit on the other end. When I cat to /dev/tty01 on the BSD box, the data shows up in the kermit. But when I cat from /dev/tty01 and type in the kermit nothing happens. Also, I am getting no input from my mouse on /dev/tty00 (which makes X11 pretty useless...) I've tried using ttyi01 to toggle various flags; but with no detectable result. (Except for being able to kick the baud rate up to 38.4K). I'm using the built-in serial ports on an ASUS PCI/I SP3G, and FreeBSD 2.0 (January 1995 Walnut Creek CD-ROM). Thanks, -Pat
