Use of /dev/cua? may be deprecated, but I can't get scripts to work with /dev/ttyS?, only /dev/cua?. Can anone explain why?
For example, if you use the /usr/doc/ppp/examples/secure-card expect script, it uses redirection to /dev/cua? to communicate with the modem: system "stty 19200 -echoe -echo raw < /dev/cua3 > /dev/cua3" If you change this to ttyS3 it will work once, but not again until you reboot. But /dev/cua? always works... On Tue, 10 Feb 1998, Robert D. Hilliard wrote: > The device equivalent to /dev/cua1 is /dev/ttyS2.
