Ah, okay. ugen is a generic device. I think you can't use that directly if you have a usb-to-serial converter. I guess you need to kldload a kernel module specific to your usb-to-serial converter. For example something like uplcom, umodem etc. This would create a new entry in /dev that you can use in minicom. Permissions for those devices can be set in /etc/devfs.rules (and restartin= g devfs with /etc/rc.d/devfs restart). You may also want to look at /etc/devd= .conf I'm not familiar with usb-to-serial converters, so I can't help more than t= hat. Others may have more experience there. > Thanks, > Akash. -cpghost. --=20 Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
