SOLVED THANKS Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk >>>>> "Angelo" == Angelo Turetta writes: Angelo> Using ttydx (and ttyEx for the Stallion) in ttys(5) fixed Angelo> the problem. BTW, what is the difference between Angelo> /dev/ttydx and /dev/cuaax. ttydX is a general serial device, cuaaX is a call-out device. Opening ttydX's will block until it detects the carrier. Opening cuaaX doesn't block---but will also steal the port from another process waiting for a carrier on the ttydX device. Type ``man 4 sio'' for more info. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
