However ft appears to lack much of the fuctionality of mt. When I issue a command like "red-dwarf > mt -f /dev/ft0 status" I get a "red-dwarf > mt: device not configured message". Searched the faq and got a hit on somebody elses question <9501171349.AA09607@venus.batc.allied.com> but no answer was included in the thread. Any ideas?
