I'm a long time user of ltsp in a production environment. On 4.2 there was an implementation of lp_server that was used as a jet-direct interface on the thin clients for use with locally attached printers. Apparently due to license problems lp_server is no longer used. Jetpipe is the python script that replaces it, and works as advertised. However jetpipe does not support bidirectional communication with serial ports.
I wish to do com port redirection for serial communication with industrial weight scales and such. I found the easy solution was to use 'socat' which is in the ubuntu repository. I tested it and found that not only can it be the com port redirector I want, it can also be the jet-direct replacement as well. Just wondering if the ltsp devels ever considered using 'socat' instead of jetpipe and putting in some lts.conf options for redirecting almost any device. -- Lawrence E Bartash ____________________________________________________________ This communication is solely for use by the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or copyrighted under applicable law.

Does it make network security easier or more difficult to achieve?
