I hope this is your problem. Yeah! That's it. Sometime during when I'd been fiddling around trying to set my trailblazer up so that it would work with the phone manager, a /dev/trailblaze9600 file was made. And removing that let wmgr work perfectly. Lenny sent me a suggestion that my /dev/{window,syscon,systty,w[1-12]} device files might have been wrong. The only wrongness I saw there was that syscon was linked to w2 instead of to window as the list of files he sent me implied. But changing that didn't change anything. -- <-- David Herron; an MMDF guy<-- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <-- <-- By Michelle betrayed!
