[hylafax-users] FW: pseudo ttys for modem card

["Vincent Hartman" <Vincent.Hartman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

 

I am using a Performance Technology MTN2300/MTN4100 modem. It is A PCI card based modem with up to 120 modem instances. Now the data access to the modem instances "ports" on the card will be via an API.

I'm thinking of interfacing HylFAX to the API using pseudo terminal devices on SuSE 9. ptmx (master terminal), pts (slave terminal) In other words, instead of HylFAX talking to a ttyS1 (real serial port) it will be writing/reading to a pseudo tty. On the slave side the data received will be fed to the API.

Q: Is this a feasible solution ?

Q: Is there a better solution ?

Thanks in advance
