[comp.unix.msdos] VP/ix

corwin@polari.UUCP (Don Glover) (10/14/90)

 I Have just recently acquired VP/ix ver 1.1 with update A, and installed it
on my Xenix 386 2.3.2 system, I would like to be able to get to the serial
port that has my modem on it.  I have modified the vpix.cnf file and I have
made the device r/w but I still get an error of cannot open serial port,
could some one give me a hint as to what I need to do to fix this?

Do you have a getty hanging on this port? VPIX and getty can't share the
port.

	This must work !
	Do you have checked the permisson of your tty-device
	Is there a getty hangig on this device? Do you also need this for
	uucp ? Do you use with/without modem controll? With modem controll
	it won't work.
