:)Is this untrue for some weirdo (PowerComputing, maybe?) models?
For pre-OF 3 machines, ttya is modem, ttyb is printer. For Apple Network
Servers, "Port 2" is ttya, "Port 1" is ttyb. For OF 3 machines, scca is
the serial port (57600 bps 8N1).
I just added that info to the supported hardware part of the INSTALL notes
(along with a note about some internal modems covering the modem serial
port).
:)The note about having to free up the modem port is definitely
:)important.
Yeah, I just emphasised that a little more in the INSTALL docs.
