man zstty (the manpage doesn't mention the dev nodes, bug) you use the regular device nodes, i think /dev/ttya and /dev/cuaa in this case - zs DOES support cua, with a limitation mentioned in the manpage. the device i had in mind that doesn't support cua on sparc(64) was spif. -- Henning Brauer, [email protected], [email protected] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting
