Wow, what a quick response... :-) Thanx a lot!



>ttya and ttyb are probably OpenFirmware naming conventions.
My iMac is at home, but if I remember correctly "dmesg" reports something
about devices it found called "ztty00" and "ztty01". According to the
man-pages ("man ztty") these correspond to serial ports on some particluar
chip and the corresponding special files are called "ttya" and "ttyb". But
MAKEDEV doesn't know how to make these and as I don't know their device
numbers, I can't make them myself (to see if they are what I am looking
for).

I'll try those, thanx.

It's an internal modem. Every iMac comes with a built-in V.90 modem. It's
functioning correctly in Mac OS (haven't tried it yet in Darwin OS), so I
don't think plugging in or power is the problem. (I was also able to use it
with LinuxPPC, but I removed Linux when NetBSD/macppc came out ;-)

I'll try that.

Thanx again,
