The device name should be COM1, ':' was used : as separator by the mode command. Actually, COM1: was used by many programs as the device, and accepted by MS-DOS as a legitimate filename (cf LTP:). However, MS-DOS also accepted COM1 as a device too, which is why you can't have a filename called COM1.TXT on DOS :-( Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
