I encountered this behaviour in attempting to start up the ppp
daemon from with an expect script. I open /dev/cua01 inside
the script and then use expect to deal with initializing the
modem, dialing, etc. Once a connection is established, I close
/dev/cua01 in the script and then start pppd. However, due to
the above-noted behaviour, pppd fails due to /dev/cua01 being
busy.
Well, for one thing, it sounds like you're trying to make things way
more complicated than they need to be. On my NetBSD system, I just
use the "connect" option to pppd, and use a chat script from connect.
It works perfectly every time.
