Especially if they don't let you type device nodes into them. Sounds like kppp wouldn't let you use USB serial ports either -- or phones connected directly via USB. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
