[comp.unix.questions] How to cycle thru devs in REMOTE?

bob@acornrc.UUCP (06/16/87)

I've been having trouble trying to figure out how to get tip to cycle
through devices.  I.e., if ttyd<n> is inaccessible, I want to try
ttyd<n+1>.

I have the following in my remote file:

MODEM|modem:\
	:dv=/dev/ttyd5,/dev/ttyd6:br#1200:pa=zero:

but it never gets to ttyd6 if ttyd5 is in use or otherwise unusable.

Is there some simple trick I am missing?
