Hi all, I got halfway through typing out a question regarding a small awk script I've been working on, and it must have kick-started my brain. I no longer have a problem. The process of explaining a problem tends to do that :)
The answer turned out to be related to how my LCD program reads its named pipe. My own stupid fault... fixed in the meantime with an extra line in the awk script. So there is no question... and I finally have a working ppp traffic monitor on my LCD module (just bytes in/out since the link was brought up, with a little bit of formatting). Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
