Has anyone successfully used rn from a remote through the on board modem? I get an error that says "Can't open /dev/tty". I found that and added a perror which turned up an error of "Device busy". Has anyone else had this problem? According to the manual, this error doesn't apply here at all. -- Ken Tobias "Damn Turtles!!..." marge!ken@nrcvax -or- ken@dhw68k.CTS.COM

I have the same problem (I'm running the 3.5 os), but I haven't found a solution either. -- David Keaton dmk%dmk3b1@uunet.uu.net uunet!dmk3b1!dmk

In UNIX PC 3.5 kernel the /dev/tty code is broken in that it won't let you open it more than once (as I recall from the last round of discussion). And as I recall, in 3.51 this is fixed. (verify, folks closer!) Dave Wood

[that he thinks the problem with the /dev/tty driver in 3.5 is
fixed in 3.51]
The answer is no--I have rn running on my 3.51 3B1, and I get the same
error when I try to use it over ph1: "Can't open /dev/tty".

This is true, but if you get FIXDISK 2 from the Hot Line it will cure the problem for 3.5. It is to bad that they didn't fix it as well in 3.51. -- Darryl Wagoner UniSecure Systems, Inc.; dpw@unisec.usi.com Newport, RI; (401)-849-0857 UUCP: {gatech|mirror|cbosgd|uiucdcs|ihnp4}!rayssd!unisec!dpw
