It is true I understand nothing of hardware (I am a mathematician) but I thought that it was not very much difficult than connecting a terminal. I created /dev/cua0 (maj 12, min 128) parallel to /dev/ttya, changed /etc/ttytab and /etc/gettytab according to the System Administration Manual, and called /etc/ttysoftcar -a (my prom revision is 3.0, anyway I even tried recompiling kernel with 0x0 flags) which returned error. If I try to tip a telephone number, it turns out that "all devices are busy". Any suggestion? BITNET: LAFTESI1@ITOPOLI UUCP: ...!mcsun!i2unix!cselt!codogno fake Internet: mau@alice.cselt.stet.it
