Re: Using an NTS instead of the local serial device ?

[wotuzu17 <andiv@gmx.li>]

If there was a -socket option, I'd like to try. But I can't find a -socket
option neither in the man pages nor in other documentation about pppd. 

# pppd: unrecognized option '-socket'

Here at home I have a Suse 10.1 linux with pppd version 2.4.3 installed. 

The serial ports on the Lantronix are easily accessable- e.g.
# telnet 192.168.0.1 2003

will write everything that's being typed to physical port 3, and everything
that is being receveid on that port 2 is displayed in the telnet window
