Ah. That's just a default. What makes you think your modem is connected to /dev/cuaa1?

If you have the mouse daemon running on /dev/cuaa1, you don't have the modem there. > I try to go back in to X and I cant figure out how to get around > with out a mouse. You can't.

This should be ample proof that /dev/cuaa1 isn't your modem. >> So, now: if your modem is external, what is it connected to? If >> it's internal, how's it configured?

What do you suggest? I would suggest that you have more or less proven that /dev/cuaa1 is connected to your mouse. At a wild guess, I'd suggest that your modem might be /dev/cuaa0. I'd also suggest that if you're trying to find out about modems in my book, you should read the chapter on modems. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
