Hi
I have two computers linked together with a null-modem in /dev/par1.
I want to build a Qnet for them.
I run io-net -pqnet on both of them, but I they can’t see each other
in the network directories.
I guess I miss the daemon for the /dev/par1. What shoud I run? pppd?
Just like the normal modem connection? With which options?
Best regards
Vasily
If you can get a ppp connection up qnet should fall out.
I would try this over a serial port:

That didn’t work.
The system says: Connect ppp0 <—> /dev/par1
The io-net -pttcpip -ppppmgr -pqnet is running, but I can’t see
anything in the /net
Does the code you wrote work on your system?
Maybe I have some network configuration wrong…
Any ideas?

Don’t use /dev/par1?

Yup.
I don’t think ppp expects to run/talk to a parallel port – it expects
to be dealing with a serial port.
In fact, I don’t think our parallel port drivers handle bi-directional
data transfer, and you need that for PPP.
Do you really need to run ppp accross a parallel port connection?

Why don’t you use the serial port?
There is no support AFAIK for parallel port based comms.
You may be able to do this with the upcoming DDK?
Do you have source for doing this parallel port thing
in e.g. Linux? If so, you would have to port it yourself,
as there is no support for doing comms over parallel port
in RTP.

What kind of “null-modem” parallel port cable are you using?
What protocol do you think that you can use over it?
