I haven't been able to find anything about modem sharing between dosemu sessions. I've gone through the list archives and documentation in the tarball, so now I ask here hoping that someone has an answer. I need to be able to share one modem for outgoing calls between atleast 4 DOSEMU sessions under Linux. The programs only need occasional access to the modem, and this application is working ( when it dosen't crash) under windows currently. Under windows, the program checks to see if it can open the comport and then proceeds or gives a 'modem unavailable' message. I hope to duplicate that under dosemu, hopefully without having to implement a custom locking scheme. If I have to implement something, it may go like so: What I had thought of was a two layer locking scheme that dosemu would lock at the uucp lock level so another Linux process wouldn't try to get control. Then a dosemu internal locking scheme to track whether a process was actually using the comport. We don't have source to the dos application, and I don't know if this is really even feasible at the dosemu level. Is any of this even necessary? Have I overlooked something obvious that will already allow this in dosemu? Thanks for any help, David A.
