Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm finally getting bitten by the age-old UNIX problem of sucky serial port handling. I installed the 'hylafax' package from 2.0.5, ran 'faxaddmodem' and got the afm-tar.Z so that textfmt would work, and hylafax tries to send a job, gets connected, and then hangs. The process is waiting on ttyin: 66 162 156 0 3 0 764 896 ttyin I ?? 0:00.27 faxsend -m cuaa0 sendq/q1 I can't kill it, turning the modem on and off does no good, even if I flip CD around and various other tricks. Is there any way other than continuously rebooting to debug this problem? I'm running -stable as of last Saturday. Thanks, Bill
