You don't get really reliable results without a `chat' type driver. That needs a bi-directional pipe and that's why programs like `expect' use at pty. Of course, it works most of the time and often you have no choice due to the lack of alternatives. That's what I'd call a hack in this context :) Enrik _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
