     The cause of the problem I mentioned a while back is apparently due to
   the fact that there are no /dev/ttyp[0-n] entries on the 3B2!  (Yes, its
   now painfully obvious)   Does anyone out there know what the major and
   minor node numbers should be for a 3B2/600 running 3.2.1 and Wollongong
   3.0 TCP/IP?  Better yet, is there some way that I can create these in an
   automated fashion?  I should know enough to RTFM, but in this case TFMs
   are long gone...

I don't remember the major/minor node numbers, but I *do* remember
that 3.0 was incredibly bug-ridden. I'd suggest that you upgrade to
3.0.1, or 3.1, if it's available now.

I faced a significant number of intermittent TCP/IP problems with 3.0,
ranging from the annoying to the destructive.
