I am.

An "ls -a /dev/cu*" results in the listings of "cuaa cuab cuac cuad".
There is some reference in the /dev/MAKEDEV file to these being the 4
terminal
ports. Even when I try a "make cuaa" I get a "cuaa is up to date" message.

I don't have the cua[0-n] files that you are refering to. A Solaris box
I have makes use
of these same 2 physical ports from the /dev/cua/a and /dev/cua/b device
files. The
labeling could be some sort of Sparc terminology independant of i386,
but I am not sure
on that one.

My question/problem rephrased:
    If I can use the command "tip" to access a cisco router via the B
port on the back of
    a Sparcstation, how can I also use "tip" to access the same (or
different) cisco router
    via the A port on the back of the same Sparcstation? The following
2 lines are from
    my /etc/remote file:

> hardwire-a:dv=/dev/cuaa:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
> hardwire-b:dv=/dev/cuab:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:

the following is the listing from my /dev/cu* :

zeus# cd /
zeus# cd dev
zeus# ls cu*
cuaa cuab cuac cuad
zeus#

    Accessing through the B port works fine, no problem. It's the A
port that gives me the
    message that the device is not configured. If you need more info I
can provide it.

thanks again.
