If you check out the last few lines of your /etc/remote, they define several tags for accessing your serial device which tip(1) references. In 4.3-RC, there's a "com1" tag for accessing /dev/cuaa0 at 9600 baud, no parity. eg: # tip com1 If you've got an earlier release, you can use the tag "cuaa0c" Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen Once is dumb luck.
