Hi...
First off...just got 0.99pl5 compiled without
a hitch. I remembered afterwards, of course, about the
new way that the serial drivers are configured, which is
fine and dandy...but...
I can't get them to work. :( Dial in hasn't changed
in the slightest...that still works like a charm...but I can't
dial out.
Now, before someone says anything, I have created the
required devices:
ttycua8 -> ttycua11
same minors as ttyS8 -> ttyS11
major of 5
This *is* correct, right?
Now, if I go into kermit to try and dial out, and I
presume that uucico will get the exact same thing, I get the
error message:
Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/ttycua9: Device or resource busy
Wait!!! Hold the phone...my uucico *just* dialed out using
ttyS11??? My kermit locks up if I even try that port!! This really
throws a loop into it :( The transfer rates are even good.
So, I guess the question becomes...why doesn't kermit work? :)
The device is not busy when I try this, and there is no
lock file in /usr/spool/uucp from the getty/uugetty that is running
on the line.
First thought...is there a *new* getty/uugetty package
designed for the new serial drivers that I must get? ie. how does
getty/uugetty cope with S9 vs cua9 in the sense of lock files?
Second thought...is there somethign that I've missed in
configuring?
Thanks..
Marc
