HELP in "rn"

[Alex M. Chan]

I am porting the "rn" package to an UNIX PC 7300 ( 3b1 ? ) and I have
managed to get Pnews running and "rn" only on the console end, but
not over the dial-in line. Could any one help ?
Here are some information.

error message :

devtty=-1, errno=16
cannot open /dev/tty

According to /usr/include/sys/errno.h

#define	EBUSY	16	/* Mount device busy			*/

processing running now :

version of OS is 3.51a if this would help.
Any help would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
