Re: [Nix-dev] Too many open issues

2016-07-22 Thread Paul Dufresne

I did not really test NixOS lately, but normaly /etc/ppp is rather where to find configuration files. The device is usualy /dev/ttyS0 (for the first serial RS232-C connector) or /dev/ttyS1 (for the second one). Or even /dev/ttyS2 or /dev/ttyS3 for the third and fourth in some cases (mostly

Well, serial lines are not PlugPlay like PCI bus. So, AsFarAsIKnow, the Linux kernel does not generate any UDEV event for serial lines. (Like it does for most other devices). I guess, most people would use WinModems that necessitate to compile their own modules, which in my experience, sometimes
