Hi, I have a requirement for implementing a virtual com port type device where it just looks like the normal /dev/cuaa* but when any program (such as ppp, seyon, kermit etc) opens it, it will connect to a remote machine actual physical com port. What is the best way of doing it ? Creating the device special file similarly to /dev/cuaa* and write a background daemon that opens the port and does a select() on that port ? I may have to be able to add many such devices for testing purpose. Any ideas/suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
