access codes and the fact this machine's not running NetBSD :-(  ]

Was the "local" flag there when the machine booted? Or did you run
"ttyflags" after making the change and before testing? The getty wasn't
already running, was it?

This problem does sound like the same one Andred described, but I find it
hard to believe that Apple messed up their modem ports...

When the machine is up, and there's a getty running on the port, type
"stty -e -f /dev/tty00" and please send me the output.

Take care,
