Try that and see if it works. > Also, try the man > page for tip. Thanks for your response. I have read the man page for tip and it talks about /etc/remote. The remote file appears to be a definition file of things to which tip can connect. com2 is defined in this file so it should work. From /etc/remote: # Finger friendly shortcuts com1:dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#9600:pa=none: com2:dv=/dev/cuaa1:br#9600:pa=none: In fact, because cuaa1 is not defined in the file it produces this error: blacklamb# tip -v -115200 cuaa1 tip: unknown host cuaa1 Any other ideas?
