Pretty much identical to my setup :( > You don't mention which kernel you are using. The 2.2.x series has > changed the use of cua device names.

I'm using 2.0.36 as installed from a slink CD. The use of cua1 is only on RedHat (I seem to remember trying ttyS1 on that, and having it fail too, but that was a long time ago and my memory of it is sketchy). Could I need to add a kernel module for this? Or might I have added one which conflicts? (I might have added PS2-mouse by mistake, now that I think of it) Stuart.
