Blind stab at this, but I'm guessing they'd be under the /dev/term or /dev/cua devices.. those are pretty much standard across various unix variants.<br />
<br />
Should be fairly easy to determine which device names from there, assuming you don't have any other serial expansion in the box.<br />

Cheers Dean - just also had a similar answer from Compaq - but they neglected to mention the last bit about ecu ... just for info as well - the second port on the motherboard also has a jumper associated with it - if not set it effectively disables the port for serial use!<br />
Thanks again!<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Have a DEC Alpha-4100 running DEC UNIX 4.1 and would like to know how to access the two &quot;COM&quot; type ports on the rear of the CPU bay.<br />
Have tried looking in DEC's 'man pages' CD (next to useless!) and theres no more<br />
info on Compaq's web-site.<br />
I need to know the /dev entries (and possibly how to create them if not already there) and be able to do an stty command to see the ports (want to hang a couple of async modems off them).<br />
I'm not looking to have a getty running on them as they are strictly dial-out only.<br />
Many thanks all!

DEC Alpha-4100 Serial ports - how to access?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
