Configuration: a DN3000 running SR10.3 with max Aegis/BSD4.3 installed

Problem: lpd will not start up.

What happens when /usr/lib/lpd is started is that it creates two
lpd processes, then one of them dies.  The other one sticks around.
The one that dies, I believe, is the one that is supposed to be
controlling the printer.

# lpc
lpc> restart all
cx:
        no daemon to abort
cx:
        couldn't start daemon
lpc> status
cx:
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        no entries
        no daemon present

My printcap file looks like this:
cx|lp|im|imagen:\
        :lp=/dev/sio:\
        :br#19200:rw:\
        :pc=/usr/apollo/bin/prf -pr cx -banner off -text -npag -headers off:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/cx:if=/usr/lib/lpf:pw#96:pl#65:\
        :af=/usr/adm/cxacct:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:

I'm running a serial line over to an imagen at 19200 baud.
A related question is what is the serial port called?  I've tried
/dev/sio, /dev/sio1, /dev/tty, etc....what should I call it?

Thanks.  Please direct personal responses to skum@bessel.umd.edu
