You shouldn't be trying to access the port directly. Instead, when the "welcome" script runs, your script's standard input and standard output are connected directly to the tty. You should be able to use 'read' and 'echo' (or whatever your scripting language supports) without having to open anything. This is true for "connect", "disconnect", "init", and "pty" as well. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
