Hi peeps,

I've been trying to set up my internal modem. My Linux tells me it is set up on ttyS3 at IRQ 3, I also have ttys0 on IRQ 4. I have enabled sio0 and sio3 in my kernel at IO_COM1 and IO_COM4 respectively, with IRQ 3 and 4 as in Linux. The kernel seems to configure fine and boots up OK, when (as root) I run ppp, followed by;

> term /dev/cuaa3

I get the error "bad deflink on /dev/cuaa3, can't open /dev/cuaa0".

/dev/cuaa0 to /dev/cuaa3 are in the /dev dir with no sym links to anywhere else.

I have tried to configure sio3 on IRQ9 but the kernel complains that IRQ9 is not in the bitmap of probed IRQs but it seems to set it up any way, however I get the same problems when running ppp.

Would someone be able to tell me what the error message is trying to tell me, and why is ppp trying to open /dev/cuaa0?

Thanks,

greadey
