Did you try loading the module? The sun_esp driver might just be broken the same way the esp driver is broken on the Amiga for certain SCSI boards. I know that, in fact, the ESP driver had a major rewrite some time ago and chances are that this did not just cause regressions on the Amiga but also on your old Ultra 1. > X works fine in NetBSD, up to and including the Sun-unsupported > 1920x1080@60Hz.

If your laptop doesn't have a serial, try one of these USB-RS232 adapters, these work fine. Adrian -- .''`.
