Run:

  stty -f /dev/tty00 -clocal

try 'cu' again, then rush out and get the BSD FAQ :)

It might be useful to do so as it serves as a central place to store
ppp-on/-off and ip-up/-down scripts, and options* files for pppd,
thereby making it do much of its stuff automagically.  I suspect that
much of the automation that you can achieve this way would be a lot
more difficult (well nigh impossible?) to get without that directory
(short of changes to source and rebuilds).

I might add that I didn't find demand-dial PPP anywhere in
NetBSD-1.2/i386, but it is /very/ nice in NetBSD-1.3/i386!



David> 2. Has anyone run XFree86 with two monitors?...

Pass.
