I have a Sun-3/50, running SunOS 3.5, with two Telebits ( 1 trailblazer, 1 T-2500 ) on which I'm trying to get pcomm to work. Everything compiles fine, the executible starts up ok, but when I try to "manually dial", I get "cannot read/write to /dev/ttyd0". This makes perfect sense, since both ttyd0 and ttyd1 are owned by uucp and are set to mode 622. BTW, I have dial-in/dial-out enabled in the kernel for both these ports. Tip and uucp are both setuid to uucp, so they manage to take over the ports fine, but I still get the "can't read/write" message when I setuid pcomm to uucp. Since uucp, tip, and news have worked fine for years, I'm suspicious of pcomm. Has anyone successfully brought up pcomm on a system such as mine? Thanks in advance. -- In-Real-Life: John Bossert, Thalatta Corporation, (+1 206 455 9838) Domain: bossert@Thalatta.COM Path: ...!sun!sunup!thebes!bossert

I have pcomm up and running on Sun 3/60 SunOS 4.1. You don't say how you
try to manually dial. I just select a blank line in the dialer menu, which
gets me a connection to the modem line. I then have direct access to the modem
and do whatever commands I want.
Be sure and set the blank line with the your needed baud rate, etc. Just
don't enter a phone number.
