[...] > Is the "portno locator" a real existing object or an abstract > concept? Is it a program, special device or a file? ``portno'' is an optional locator in the kernel configuration file. i.e. you can declare an ucom attachment as ucom* at umct? but this is really ucom* at umct? portno ? By default, all ucom ports will be attached anyway, but if you want to force a particular physical port on the device to get a fixed ucom# number assignment, you can add a configuration line specifying the locator, as in ucom0 at umct? portno 1 ucom* at umct? # and implicitly ``portno ?'' [The optional locators used to be written in the synopsis lines for the relevant manual pages (i.e. you would have seen it in ucom(4)). Maybe they should be put back... at least when the manual text makes reference to it.] Miod
