The /etc/remote file uses the cua device. I use cu(1) too, but always with the -l option. Probably because I'm too lazy to setup a system name. Also: the fact that we have fingerfriendly shortcuts in /etc/remote as well as calling them that way is sufficient indication that cua* is just plain non-obvious and ackward to a lot of users. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel_at_xcllnt.netReceived on Wed Jul 14 2004 - 16:46:37 UTC
