First, let me say thank you to those responded to my Lisp/GKS problem. Now I have one a bit less esoteric. On our server (a Sun3/180 running SunOs3.5 [I know, but it is a SL/IP gateway]), we have a dialin/dialout modem connected to /dev/ttyb. The kernel has been configured for carrier detection on ttyb. The problem is that whenever a user runs the command `tip isn`, a second "/etc/init -" process is started, which hangs any future `tip` requests until the 2nd "init" process is killed. Here are the relevant contents of /dev and the pertinent file in /etc: /dev ==== crw--w--w- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 20 1988 /dev/ttya crw--w--w- 1 root wheel 12, 1 Mar 23 12:01 /dev/ttyd0 /etc/remote =========== isn:\ :dv=/dev/cua0:br#2400:at=hayes:du:pn=4921968%: /etc/ttys ========= 02ttya 10ttyd0 /etc/ttytype ============ dialup ttya dialup ttyd0 Can anyone offer an explanation? (Like I'm doing something stupid.) Thanks in advance. Mark G. Brown, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309 (303)-492-3972 markb@boulder.colorado.edu -or- !ncar!boulder!markb
