Subject: mserver: Is tcpconn working?
Package: mserver
Version: 0.21-3
Hi!
Maybe part of my mail should be wishlist, not a
bug report.
At least one thing is a bug:
>bash$ tcpconn
>Segmentation fault (core dumped)
>bash$
And now a more generic question:
I have a modem connected to one Debian box
with mserver running.
Now I would like to use the modem from
another computer.
Mserver seems to work ok:
>bash$ telnet modemserver:5800
>Trying xx.xx.xx.xx...
>Connected to modemserver.
>Escape character is '^]'.
>atz
>atz
>
>OK
While connected to modemserver:5800 there is a
lockfile /var/lock/LCK..ttyS1. Everything fine
so far.
Now I would like to use minicom wich only works
with devices. After reading the tcpconn manpage
I thought 'tcpconn -d /dev/ttyp0 modemserver'
would redirect input and output to /dev/ttyp0
so I would be able to use minicom with that
device.
But if I start minicom everything I type inside
minicom is output to the terminal running tcpconn.
Isn't tcpconn meant to redirect input AND output
to a device? Is ttyp[0-9] the right device to
use?
My system is slink and up-to-date with ftp.de.debian.org.
Thanks,
Florian

Hi,
I apologize for the incredibly long reply time, but both the Debian and
the upstream maintainer seem to have lost interest in mserver.

This has been fixed in 0.23a-1.

If you read README.tcpconn carefully, you'll see that tcpconn is run on
a pty (i.e. master) device, and cu is run on a tty (i.e. slave) device:
$ tcpconn -d /dev/ptyq0 modemserver &
$ minicom -p /dev/ttyq0
However, since this approach doesn't work with Unix98 pseudo-terminals,
mserver 0.23a-2 has been extended to allocate ptys automatically:
$ minicom -p `tcpconn -d modemserver`
Thanks,
Matej
