No this won't help. You can change it, but what I meant is that all actual use 
of the serial ports (mouse, dialin, dialout), chould use /dev/ttySx.

My system is still configured as /dev/cuax.  Should I change it to
/dev/ttySx?  Is so, how should I do it?  I have seen a 0setserial
script in /etc/rc.boot.  Can I reconfigure my system by changing all
the "cuax"-references there?

 I have 'setserial /dev/ttyS1 spd_vhi' in my
/etc/rc.boot/(whatever-serial) script, and in the diald.options file,
have 'speed 115200'.  It is faster now than when I had 'speed 38400'
there.  I had thought that setting the 'spd_vhi' flag with setserial
made '38400' max the interface, but it turns out that '115200' makes
it faster.

No, you should be using /dev/ttyS1. Use of the cua devices is deprecated, and 
pppd's case, it can cause problems.

Serial communications question

1997-01-20 Thread Steve
I'm having a problem with my modem. Using chat+pppd to dial out, I can
connect, but not negotiate ppp. Sometimes I can negotiate ppp, but the
connection is very slow. However, if I first run Minicom and quit
without reset, chat+pppd works quite well and the connection is fast.

I'm guessing that chat+pppd doesn't set up the port the way Minicom
does. Is there any way for me to set it up without having to start and
exit Minicom every time? I've checked the man page for setserial(8) but
I don't know what settings to change.

The modem is a Cardinal 33.6 external on COM 2. I'm using the /dev/cua1
device; is this the correct device?

Any help would be appreciated.
