I recently began using an expect script to connect to my office via ppp and have a problem with how I initialize the modem. I talk with the modem in the expect script as follows:
system "stty 38400 -echoe -echo raw < /dev/ttyS1 > /dev/ttyS1" spawn -noecho -open [open /dev/ttyS1 "r+"] and at the end of the script I start up pppd as overlay -0 $spawn_id -1 $spawn_id /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 38400 This works fine (as far as I can tell), but after disconnecting using poff, I can't reissue the stty command to make a subsequent connection. In other words, stty 38400 -echoe -echo raw < /dev/ttyS1 > /dev/ttyS1 just hangs. I can't figure out how to reset this, so I have to reboot (cheap excuse). Does anyone know how I can solve this?
