Can anyone shed some light on this topic for me please. I have a TCL multiport cards installed on my SuSE 6.3 box. it creates devices ttyT0 for terminals connected to it's first port and cut0 for character devices. I'm setting up my system as a dialup server and I've got serial ports 1 and 2 (ttyS0 and ttyS1) answering and autmatically starting pppd. Every thing on these ports operates perfectly. When using the multiport card, if I use ttyT0 (port 1 on the card) it answers the call and pppd starts correctly. It won't however receive data, hence it can't authenticate the user. The card manufacturer tells me I should use the /dev/cut0 (also port 1 on the card). If I use this for dialin using mgetty in inittab, the modem answers and I can manually login and manually start pppd and from then on all is well. The problem is that it will not automatically start pppd. So I have 3 questions. 1) Where do I tell pppd to listen to my /dev/cut0 port and start itself when the modem gets a carrier? It can't be /etc/ppp/options.cut0 since this is a direct copy of my /etc/ppp/options.ttyT0 which works fine when I mgetty that port. 2) Since using /dev/ttyT0 has a handshaking problem, how do I check the settings and change them? (the docs tell me that the cua devices are deprecated so this may be the preferred option) 3) Specifically what is the differnce between /dev/ttysX and /dev/cuaX?
