Try a "kill -HUP 1" to start the getty on ttym2. jwk -- John Kupec, Systems Manager Agouron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. La Jolla, CA (619) 535-5540 jwk@scripps.edu or uunet!agouron!kupec

Depending on modem type, you probably want the ttym# device, rather than ttyd#. Also, if a login was previously enabled on the port, you want to do a 'killall getty' after the 'telinit q'.

The problem is with the "/dev/ttym2" -- more than likely you meant "ttym2", which is how it should be in the Devices file (this is assuming you're using HoneyDanBer UUCP). The /usr/lib/uucp/Devices entry could look like: Direct ttym2 - 1200 direct The above stated is correct, though: your device should be owned by both user and group "uucp". So you really want the command to look like: $ cu -s 1200 -l ttym2 It may be necessary to disable getty on ttym2 as well by removing the respawn getty on that port from inittab and doing a telinit -q. Hope that helps. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Stefanik, Systems Engineer (JOAT), Briareus Corporation UUCP: ...!uunet!bria!mike "If it was hard to code, it should be harder to use!"
