If there was a -socket option, I'd like to try. But I can't find a -socket option neither in the man pages nor in other documentation about pppd. # pppd: unrecognized option '-socket' Here at home I have a Suse 10.1 linux with pppd version 2.4.3 installed. The serial ports on the Lantronix are easily accessable- e.g. # telnet 192.168.0.1 2003 will write everything that's being typed to physical port 3, and everything that is being receveid on that port 2 is displayed in the telnet window Paul Mackerras wrote: > > wotuzu17 writes: > >> I wonder whether it is posible to use a serial port of an NTS for >> communiction instead of the local serial device /dev/ttyS0 ?
