You might not have noticed that there are two places where you can turn on serial port support. The Standard/generic under Char devs is _not_ the one you want, at least not on my mac-clone desktop. The one you want for the Z8530 UART Macs have is "support for PowerMac serial ports" under "Macintosh device drivers". I don't know if this is the trick for the internal modem on a Pismo, or what, but if you haven't compiled linux for a Mac very often, you might have missed that. (BTW, you can check if this is likely to work by looking in /proc/interrupts: Look for SCC IRQs. That's the kind of chip the macserial driver supports (the z8530 is actually an ESCC).) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
