I wish to use an application (a X.25 PAD) that requires to be a typewriter. When I start it with stdin redirected (from a file or a pipe) the application gives me "ioctl TCGETA error: not a typewriter". I assume this means that input must come from a tty. Is there any mean of cheating? In my case, this application should be started by an inetd daemon that handles connection with another host. If such a cheating is not possible, is attributing a ttyp an easy method. I remember having vaguely seen in a package they it checks every ttyp until it finds a good one, but I don't remember how this is done. Any suggestion? -- Christophe Wolfhugel | Email: wolf@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr INSA - Dpt Informatique | "Le progres ne vaut que s'il est partage par tous," Lyon, France | "les greves aussi.
