-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I have a strange problem with my serial port /dev/ttyS0.
/proc$ setserial /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 /proc$ tail -f /dev/ttyS0 & [1] 13643 /proc$ echo at > /dev/ttyS0 This hangs infinitely, BUT only if I have used pppd. There are no lock files in /var/lock: /proc$ ls /var/lock iptraf.tag iptraf_detstat.tag wtmplock and there's no pppd running. ppp still runs fine if started up again, and minicom works too. File locking seems to work fine between minicom and pppd, but plain redirection with '>' fails after having used pppd once. Rebooting helps :-) but that's definitely not what I want to do that often. You might want to know why I need that? I want to write a dialer script using the modem to dial and taking over with the normal phone. I'm sick of typing the numbers which are already on the screen into the phone when I have a modem. Please help me, I have spent hours trying to solve that problem today. (which is probably not even worth the effort, but that's the nerdy business, isn't it?) - -- Lukas Eppler iotalab gmbh, Limmatauweg 18a, 5408 Ennetbaden +41 76 373 07 87 | fax +49 89 244394808 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBOWoC8UGzNEF6cQktAQGKNgP/SvyR+W57eA04FldOUJpsQCXie+zSB0qJ pyzXZeL9W5+LzWdc08yeJ0Qx18mcZrYaoutug8AMO66N7OD+B2PN4jl4J19N8wxo ntAXqefRFDx6ttBQmZBKakfzRJNhD8xTYGZo5yPpEvvUF6qC/WBkb/7dlLKCCL2z VxMNmMY9tj4= =bc1F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
