Can someone recall when did the > change occure? It probably has happened somewhere in v11... The Thinkpad laptop running 10.3 I have here, connected to the "dock" with a serial port, also shows the cucu0 device similar to your listing. Maybe the cuad0 port gets created dynamically somehow? In fact, I cannot remember having seen cuad0 anywhere... even worse, on older FreeBSD versions, cuaa0 was the port name used for modems or mice, if I remember correctly... So maybe it's just a "multi-typo"? ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
