I've recently upgraded from SVR3.2 to SVR4.0 (Intel V2.0) and am
having difficulty getting serial ports to respond to anything.  I've
tried everything I can think of from using the sysadm program to
configure and enable ports and uucp lines to editing the uucp
configuration files manually with no avail.  I have made sure that
"uucp" owns the appropriate device entries and files.

It seems as though to ports do not respond at all - any attempt at
connection with "cu" times out with the message "can't access device".
A short program to access the port (/dev/tty(00 00s, 00h, 01, 01s,
01h) and /dev/term/(00, 00s, 00h, 01, 01s, 01h)) with the "open"
system call waits indefinitely for the port to become ready.

An internal hayes compatible modem is attached to tty00 and tty01 is
one of the serial ports builtin to the motherboard (Hauppauge 4860).

Intel support will not help because I didn't purchase a support
contract (~$2000).

If you have any ideas on what the problem may be, or have your's
configured correctly, I'd appreciate any help you may offer.

					Thanks!
