I modify the /etc/ttys file to turn on ttyd0 and ttyd1 on two machines running FreeBSD. The terminal type is set to be "unknown" not "dialup". If the two machines are not connected via a serial cable, the following command shows two entries on both machines: # ps -axww | grep getty 211 ?? I 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0 244 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd1 ...... However, if I connect the two machines with a PC modem cable + NULL modem converter + PC modem cable, only one entry on each machine is shown by ps. For example, if com 1 of machine 1 is connected to com 2 of machine 2, then on machine 1, I only have the ttyd1 available and on machine 2, I only have the ttyd0 available. This situation prevents me from using the following command in kermit: > set line /dev/ttyd1 (or /dev/ttyd0) I somehow circumvent this by disconnecting the line and run kermit on two machines and then re-connect the cable. Then I can transfer a file with send command (the other machine acts as server), only the transfer stops after some percentage of work. This indicates the cable is fine. But why the entry disappears from the ps command. I hope someone can help me out on this. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.
