Thought this would be easy. Probably is, but I'm missing something. I'm trying to get two FreeBSD boxes (5.5 and 6.2) to talk to each other over a dedicated serial link with ppp(8). This, to me, sounds exactly what "direct" and "dedicated" mode was designed for. On the PPP "client" I run, # ppp -dedicated hardwire In ppp.conf, hardwire: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP IPV6CP CCP tun command set speed 115200 On the PPP "server," I'm a little less confident. It sure sounds like "direct" mode is what I want. Since that doesn't connect to a device for me, I thought I'd use ttys(4) to do it, ttyd0 "/usr/sbin/ppp -direct" network on secure I don't think I want or need getty(8) since I'm not interested in doing logins on this link. It's an always up serial line between the hosts. But it's not working. What's the right way to do this? Do I actually need to go in and mess with the gettytab(4)? Why can't the ppp(8) just talk directly to the other end? -- Crist J. Clark | cjclark@alum.mit.edu
