Very Computer

Hi
I'm trying to connect another "computer" directly from
my SunOS4.1.3 through the serial b port (RS232).
I have created the device cua0 with "mknod cua0 12 128"
and changed the permissions.

/etc/ttytab:
ttya "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" unknown  off local secure
cua0 "/usr/etc/getty std.9600" unknown  off local secure

/etc/uucp/Devices:
Direct cua0 - 9600 direct

Then I ran the commands:
kill -1 1
ttysoftcar -a
cu -d -l cua0

and I get the error messages:
  altconn called
  Device Type Direct wanted
  mlock cua1 succeeded
  generic open failed, errno = 16
  set interface UNIX
  getto ret -1
  Connect failed: CAN'T ACCESS DEVICE
  call cleanup(1)
  call _mode(0)

What am I doing wrong ?
greatful for help

Also, you have ttya line to "off", so getty won't run on it.
Your uucp wants to login. So, set the ttya line to "on local" and
do kill -1 1.

There may be other problems, but this is a start to solving
them.

If you are still having problems, see my SunOS 4.1.x modem/terminal
