I remember it was "tty00" before, but the device is not there. So I needed to make it, and it said to issue the command "sh MAKEDEV tty00" but it returns an error saying that tty00 doesn't exist! Isn't that why I'm trying to make it?? I'm very frustrated... can you help? What's wrong? Thanks, John Wadleigh
