mgetty minicom port locking conflict

1996-12-15 Thread Hamish Moffatt
How do I get mgetty and minicom to share a port? I want mgetty
to sit around normally to receive calls and faxes, but I want
to dialout on this line too. Running minicom tells me
that the port (/dev/cuax) is busy, either as root or not.
ppp seems to have no problem getting past mgetty.

As I understand it, cuax are the dialout devices, so
telling minicom to use /dev/cuax should be correct.


Any thoughts?


thanks,

Hamish

Use /dev/ttyS? for ALL programs sharing the line.

Nope.  /dev/cua? is obsolete.

I run diald, mgetty, and still can use minicom.  All ports are set to
/dev/ttyS3  though.
