cool. try this;

  cd /dev
  ./MAKEDEV dsp

mine looks like this;

  humbug% ll /dev/dsp
  crw-rw-rw-   1 root     audio     14,   3 Jul 21  1998 /dev/dsp

I think the default permissions are crw-rw----, but I couldn't access it as a
user that way (and putting me in the audio group didn't work).

anybody got any ideas why that is?
