Yes ... if there's a getty on /dev/ttydX, then to use the modem just use /dev/cuaaX. FreeBSD will automatically let you access the modem on /dev/cuaaX so long as there's no carrier detect on /dev/ttydX. Type man 4 sio for more info. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
