- I've been trying to use tip to talk to both a line driver or a modem on com2
- and I've had no end of trouble. My hardware setup worked under Dos and
- worked using the TinyBSD boot disk and basic distribution on the hard drive,
- but once I loaded BIN01, trouble started.
-
- # tip com2
- lock open: No such file or directory
- all ports busy
-
- /etc/remote contains:
- com2:dv=/dev/com2:br#9600:
-
- /etc/ttys contains:
- #com02 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
- com02 none unknown off secure
-
- (I've tried this with the first line uncommented and with a status of on)
-
- ls -la /var/spool/lock/* contains nothing
- cat /var/log/aculog shows blank
- /dev/com2 has rw for root which I've tried this under.
-
- I've read as much as I can find in Managing UUCP & Usenet by ORA which has
- fairly extensive coverage of com ports under 4.3BSD and nothing there has
- helped. I've even created /usr/spool/locks just on the off chance that that
- would help. I could find no acucntrl or uugetty on the distribution.
-
- So, what am I missing, and can anyone help?
