Give a try using /dev/cua1 instead of /dev/ttyS1 and see what happens. I use /dev/cua1 at work on a dial-out box and have never had a problem with it. (I was almost certain that ttySx's were dial-in while cuax's were dial-out... hmmm.. weird. Of course, as it goes, either device you would think should perform the same task) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
