That's backwards. tty* will hang on open() until CD, while cua* will not. I use cu with /dev/cua* a lot to do manual modem commands to dial into boxes. However, /dev/tt* is used in /etc/ttys on the boxes I dial into to run a getty on the receiving modem. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
