I have two serial ports on my machine setup for serial logins. To make the change take effect simply do kill -1 1 You'll need to have a null modem serial cable, in the US you can get null modem converter blocks from Radio Shack. It's best to first test out your terminal using Kermit or another comm program on the unix box. - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
