hi all,
what is the difference between a /dev/cua* device and a /dev/ttys* device? i
know the /dev/cua* are the serial ports (com1, com2) etc and from what i've
read they are supposed to be related somehow to the /dev/ttys* devices but i
am not clear on the differences. i ask because for an external modem that i
have connected on /dev/cua1, if i refer to it as /dev/cua1 i can comunicate
with it with a terminal program but, if i refer to it as /dev/ttys1 then the
terminal program cannot acces the modem. also, where can i find more info on
all the different devices in the /dev directory? thanks for any help.
