/dev/cua? has been obsoleted. Long ago, it was used for dialout as you'd experienced. Among other things it caused grief for file locking - specifically, how does one make sure that using /dev/ttyS1 prevents another process from using /dev/cua1? For a long time (haven't read the current docs) PPP's documentation specified /dev/cua? as the port to use, even though it didn't work that way - you had to use /dev/ttyS?. The UUCP specific issues I'm not going to be much help on. It's been many moons since I've done UUCP setup - and then it was HDB (aka BNU). > > Thanks > Miguel > Chuck PS If this isn't a FAQ, it should be. :) -- Chuck Stickelman, Owner E-Mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Practical Network Design Voice: (419) 529-3841 9 Chambers Road FAX: (419) 529-3625 Mansfield, OH 44906-1302 USA -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
