Thanks Frank. I'm using a converter based on the FTDI232BM, on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. ucom0: FTDI USB to Serial Cable, rev 1.10/4.00, addr 2 I am seeing the ucom0 work with normal input/output, but not with getty. With getting it prompts for the login then, upon hitting return, freezes. Without getty I can send and receive characters all day long without problems. Once the freeze happens, I can stty -f ucom0 -hup and data starts again.

I've been using FreeBSD since it was called 386BSD + patches and there are many things I've never had problems with too. It seems we're both happy people... mostly. > There may be other problems in the serial subsystem > intersected with usb [...] That's precisely the area I'm interested in. > Even to the point that it will be hard for you to > effect change because people don't take you > seriously. I don't want to effect change, I just want a working system. If you're serious about supporting an operating system you have to support all your uses, even the assholes.
