Hi all! English is not my native language, so i'm apologising in advance for typo errors... I am trying to establish a PPP connection using dip and pppd... Of course, dip script dials the dial-up number and loggs me in, and then terminates, leaving pppd to do the rest of connection. After terminating, dip leaves, as it looks like, a lock file in /var/lock... With others, in /etc/ppp/options there is a ``lock'' word, so pppd looks if there isn't that lock file, but it finds it and terminates with error in /var/log/messages that says something like /dev/cua1 isn't free... In fact, there is a link /dev/modem that points to /dev/cua1. I'm using Slackware 3.6 with kernel 2.0.35, and apropriate version of pppd, without demand-dialing (if that changes something :) ... So, my question is: Is it OK to remove ``lock'' from /etc/ppp/options ?? There is nothing else using /dev/cua1 ... Or something else, because who is going to remove lock file after disconnecting ?
