It does not make a difference whether I use /dev/cuau0 or not. I still  
receive the link down message.

This morning I changed the /dev/ttyu0 dialup on entry in /etc/ttys to / 
dev/ttyu0 dialup off secure, and after running kill -HUP 1, I was able  
to access the modem using either cu -l /dev/ttyu0 or cu -l /dev/cuau0.

Once I re-enabled /dev/ttyu0 in etc/ttys, I am no longer able to  
access the modem using either cu -l /dev/ttyu0 or cu -l /dev/cuau0.  I  
receive a "link down" message when trying to access the modem.

I am running FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,


Jay
