Hi Michael, 

Thanks for writing the very helpful FAQ!

Does 

# ps aux | grep tty
root 180  0.0  0.5  48   652 ?? S     5:00AM 0:00.11 /usr/libexec/getty std.38400 tty00 

mean that tty00 is root's terminal on this machine, 
which, in turn, would mean that tty00 could not be 
either the printer port or the serial port? 

Just to be blindingly clear, are you saying that 
the printer port on my 7300/200 running 1.6 is 
/dev/tty01 ?  

Thanks again!  

Tom
