using serial port on a 386i

[Diana LeBreux RIPSYS]

I would like to know if anyone has tried to connect the 386i with another
machine(sun3/280) by using the serial port, and DOS on the 386i.  I have
tried this using kermit on the sun3 and kermit in dos on the 386i.  I have
set up on the sun3 in ttytab an entry for the serial device there and if i
hook up to anything else i have no problems.  When I put it on the 386i i
receive no response. In the snap administration manual it does say that
this is the one device that sunos and dos cannot share.  But to disable
the serial port under sunos and the device should work under dos.  Well
the manual does not say how or where to disable the port under sunos and i
have not been able to figure it out.  Can anyone help or do they have any
suggestions on how to do this.  I would appreciate any help!!!    Thanks
