I have a 3b2 direct-connected to a UNIX PC and to a second 3b2.  The
UNIX PC's name is 'pc0'; the second 3b2's is 'mc3'.  pc0 is on tty14;
mc3, on tty81.  Here are the relevant lines from BNU files:

Devices:
	mc3 tty81 - 9600 direct
	pc0 tty14 - 9600 direct
	Direct tty81 - 9600 direct \D
	Direct tty14 - 9600 direct \D

Systems:
	mc3 Any mc3 9600 - "" \r\d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in: nuucp
	pc0 Any pc0 9600 - "" \r\d\r\d\r\d\r in:-- in: nuucp

/etc/inittab
	81:234:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r tty81 9600
	14:234:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r tty14 9600

cu -ltty81 gets me a connected message, while cu -ltty14 gets "CAN'T
ACCESS DEVICE".   ???

I switched the wires between tty81 and 14.  Now cu -ltty[either] gets
the "CAN'T ACCESS DEVICE".  ???

(Oh, I rebooted after making the changes to /etc/inittab.)

Can anyone shed some light here?  Thanks.
