Also, ttyd* watches carrier differently from the cua devices. If you read /etc/rc.serial you might get some mre understanding. You might also find my mods to rc.serial in 2.2 and -current handy for initializing and locking ports using 16550s and Stallion (and cyclades and Digiboard). My mods allow you to select the call-in/call-out device rather than being locked into cuaa* and ttyd*. Danny
