This looks like the standard serial port known as COM1 in windows. (cuua0 is for outgoing connections -- incoming would normally be on ttyd0) You probably want cuua2 or ttyd2 and may need to do something with the device.hints file to get these to appear. > > However, it will not respond to calls.

I don't believe you should need mgetty for basic modem login -- getty should work. Set ttyd2 to "on" in /etc/ttys. However listen to what others have to say -- I don't claim to be expert in this area -- especially not with the new features of 5.x Malcolm _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
