Hello, I want to run two ppp sessions on the same device /dev/ttyWP0. pppd doesnt allow me to run two sessions on /dev/ttyWP0. Thats why i need to create multiple logical devices (like /dev/ttyWP1, /dev/ttyWP2) pointing to the same physical device /dev/ttyWP0. so that i can run one ppp session on /dev/ttyWP1 and the other on /dev/ttyWP2, but the packets from both the devices will go thro /dev/ttyWP0 Thanks Vanitha -----Original Message----- From: Greg KH [SMTP:greg@kroah.com] Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 6:07 PM To: Vanitha Ramaswami Cc: 'kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org' Subject: Re: Sharing a serial device between multiple linux application On Mon, Dec 22, 2003 at 05:05:18PM +0800, Vanitha Ramaswami wrote: > Hi All, > > How do i share the serial device /dev/ttyWP0 between two applications..?

Why would you want to do this? greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
