I tried using tty00 for dialout on >1.x and had to switch to cua00, even on a ppp connect with no getty. It hasn't changed since 1.1.5. cua00 is for dialout, not for no modem control. ttyd0 is for general use. tty00 was another name for ttyd0 that was forced on you if you ran MAKEDEV to create cua00. Having 2 names for the same thing caused problems. They can't exist at the same time because the device database would be confusing, so MAKEDEV removed ttyd0 when creating tty00/cua00. This causes documentation problems. Bruce
