I have a Sun-3/50, running SunOS 3.5, with two Telebits ( 1 trailblazer,
1 T-2500 ) on which I'm trying to get pcomm to work.

Everything compiles fine, the executible starts up ok, but when I try
to "manually dial", I get "cannot read/write to /dev/ttyd0".  This makes
perfect sense, since both ttyd0 and ttyd1 are owned by uucp and are set
to mode 622.  BTW, I have dial-in/dial-out enabled in the kernel for both
these ports.  Tip and uucp are both setuid to uucp, so they manage to
take over the ports fine, but I still get the "can't read/write" message
when I setuid pcomm to uucp.

Since uucp, tip, and news have worked fine for years, I'm suspicious of
pcomm.  Has anyone successfully brought up pcomm on a system such as mine?

Thanks in advance.
