Hello there. I am a college student from the Philippines and we are trying to set up an LTSP server for our project. The project is a web-based application made from PHP. The server runs with mysql and apache.
The project involves the use of a device connected to the workstation. Question: how can i use a local device aside from the floppy in an LTSP workstation?
The story: we need to access from a workstation our web application coming from the LTSP server. at the same time, using the application, we need to access a device (known as /dev/ttyS0 in the server) connected to the workstation. is this doable? we've already experimented using the device if it is connected to the server, and we were successful in using it.
thanks a lot, and we hope to hear from you guys regarding this.
The driver for /dev/ttyS0 is provided with the LTSP kernel. You will need to run your application on the local LTSP workstation to access the /dev/ttyS0. Is that going to be possible (is your application small enough to run on the workstation) ?
If your application is too large (must run on a server), you could look at the following links. They might offer a linux version of serial port redirector.

This would be the small program that you run on the workstation as a local application, and modify your program to work with the serial port redirector.
