Hi divakaran
I have worked on specialix io8+ cards.
I will give you some scripts that will help you.
1) run the script "crdev"
2) add the mgetty line in the /etc/inittab file
p0:2345:respwan:/sbin/mgetty -D -x0 -p "Username" /dev/ttyW0
pxx:2345:respwan:/sbin/mgetty -D -x0 -p "Username" /dev/ttyWxx
where xx is the port no on the specialix card. If you have 1 card then
from 0 to 7. and so on
The you add in "/etc/ppp/options.ttyWxx".
where options.ttyWxx is the file that is used by ppp for config on that
port.
This is the crdev script
"
cd /dev
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 \
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
do
echo -n "$i "
mknod /dev/ttyW$i c 75 $i
mknod /dev/cuw$i c 76 $i
done
echo ""
" Till Here
here is a sample options.ttyWxx file
-detach
modem
crtscts
asyncmap 0
mtu 1500
mru 1500
hostname_or_your_ip:any_non_used_ip_of_your_network
idle 300
Then you do "telinit q" to invoke the mgetty and then connect.
Best Of Luck
