I just tried to use pppd to establish a connection to our PPP terminal
server. To log in I set up a chat script. I called pppd then in the
following way:
pppd /dev/cuaa1 57600 connect "chat -f /etc/ppp/hydra.chat" crtscts lock passive
Result: None.
Investigating the problem, I found the following:
Trying to send modem commands to /dev/cuaa1 directly, e.g.
echo "AT0DT0123456" > /dev/cuaa1 won't do anything. Doing the same
thing on /dev/ttyd1 result in blocking the command....
All accesses to /dev/cuaa1 have the same result as piping them to /dev/null.
stty </dev/ttyd1 does not work either. It blocks.
If HylaFAX is invoked and attaches to /dev/ttyd1 above stty is perfectly
working. When quitting HylaFAX, above stty blocks again.
What command do I have to use to "unblock" the /dev/ttyd1 device or to
use "/dev/cuaa1" correctly?
