I created /dev/cua1 using the command mknod -m 660 /dev/cua1 c 5 65 chown root.dialout /dev/cua1
which I got out of a book on Linux networking. Previously I was using /dev/ttyS1 for outgoing connections. Is there any reason to use the cua devices? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The cua devices (call out) were originally created as separate devices for outgoing connections, the ttyS devices were used for incomming connections. The idea was that by using lock files an outgoing process would check for an incomming process before starting (and visa versa). There are other ways of doing this today and the use of the cua devices have fallen into dis-favor. (which is why debian does not use them?) I think slackware still builds cua devices. I am using /dev/ttyS0 to connect my modem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
