Hello,
Ive got laptop Toshiba Satellite A20-s103. There are no comms port, but
3 USBs.
I need get to console to some server, so i purchased an USB-RS232 adapter.
My system recognized it, but i cant `cu` or `tip` to any machine... :(
Could somebody help me make it work?
Part of `dmesg`:

/dev/ugen0.11 /dev/ugen0.15 /dev/ugen0.5 /dev/ugen0.9
On a hardware notes ive read, that it needs a 'uplcom' driver, so i
loaded it to kernel:
root# kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 6 0xc0100000 3516a0 kernel
2 1 0xc1e4a000 7000 linprocfs.ko
3 1 0xc1ec0000 3000 daemon_saver.ko
4 1 0xc1ec3000 15000 linux.ko
5 1 0xc204c000 3000 uplcom.ko
6 1 0xc2050000 4000 ucom.ko
And tried to connect... :
root# ls /dev/ucom0
/dev/ucom0
root# cu -l /dev/ucom0
cu: open (/dev/ucom0): Device not configured
cu: /dev/ucom0: Line in use
Tried to connect thru 'ugen' too... As you can see-no help.
root# cu -l /dev/ugen0
Connected.
cu: Got hangup signal
Disconnected.
root# cu -l /dev/ugen0.1
cu: open (/dev/ugen0.1): Device not configured
cu: /dev/ugen0.1: Line in use
root# cu -l /dev/ugen0.2
cu: open (/dev/ugen0.2): Device not configured
cu: /dev/ugen0.2: Line in use
root# cu -l /dev/ugen0.3
cu: open (/dev/ugen0.3): Device not configured

Pls help.
Thanks,
Maciek
