Got 5 replies - and from these I've managed to get AdminTool

back working as before (by commenting out ttya and ttyb in

/etc/saf/zsmon/_pmtab and rebooting), but I'm still unable

to get the ports working like they should.

Specifically, we have a Polhemus 3space Isotrak digitizer

that we connect to the serial port. It used to work just

fine. Then one day, it was suddenly inaccessible thru the

serial port. I've tried connecting it to another machine

and it works fine there. Perhaps our only recourse is to

reinstall the OS?

Thanks for the advice,

Matt Marlow
