Bug#242614: kppp: Customizable Device List
Package: kppp
Version: 4:3.1.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Yo kppp Maintainer.
I use a System with IRDA, Bluetooth and an Lucent Winmodem (Linmodem)
Those serial Devices are called
/dev/ircomm0
/dev/rfcomm0
/dev/LTmodem
and are not included in kppp's device list.
The easy solution is just to add a softlink from /dev/modem to the wanted device.
But as I use all three connections quite often, I get a bit annoyed to change that symlink every time I want to use
another device.
As I read, the device list displayed by kppp is hardcoded in the headers depending on the os kppp is compiled on.
Would it be possible for further releases to add a user expandable device list that would be saved in kppprc?
