Can someone > please enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong... cuaN devices are obselete; they are no longer used for call out with ttySN used for call-in. ttySN is used for both. Also, use mgetty instead of just plain getty, it handles modems much better. I have mgetty running on /dev/ttyS1 when not in use, and can dial out on /dev/ttyS1 with minicom, diald etc without problem. hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, hamish@debian.org, hamish@rising.com.au, hmoffatt@mail.com Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
