I don't think it makes much sense to build a tty without AT command set. Unfortunately vendors don't tell anything about the protocols they use. First chance to find out is by connecting the device and ask it. A more up to date list of known good devices in the manpage would be great. I think the exceptional device is umodem conform but to stupid to tell. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
