That means your /etc/remote file is still at its defaults (which perhaps should change): tty00|For hp300,i386,mac68k,macppc,mvmeppc,vax:\ :dv=/dev/tty00:tc=direct:tc=unixhost: cua00|For hp300,i386,mac68k,macppc,mvmeppc,vax:\ :dv=/dev/cua00:tc=dialup:tc=unixhost: See, when you do "tip tty00", you aren't actually saying, "use port tty00", you are saying, "use /etc/remote entry tty00", which just so happens to point to port tty00. It doesn't need to. You could really mess with someone. :) Try doing this: # tip tty01 tip: unknown host tty01 unknown HOST, not unknown port (this machine has a second com port). The "tc=dialup" is what is hurting you. Just change it to "direct". Depending upon your cable and needs, you may not ever care, but cua is more forgiving. Nick.
