yes. that is one example. but the real trouble with tty is the server application that wants to listen on wildcard address. for example Network Access point that listens on RFCOMM channel 1. no matter what client comes in the server will just accept connection on the socket, fork and run PPP in direct mode. also there are other things besides PPP that use RFCOMM. OBEX is another example, where clients will put/get objects from the server. > Still I guess you could just run 'ppp rfcomm' instead.. it will only work for in RFCOMM client case. i do not know how to build server applications with tty interface (pty's do not count :) thanks, max To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
