DEC modem terminal server and HPUX

[Anthony Goonetilleke]

I would like to connect several modems to a DEC terminal server 900TM and then access them via HP-UX. My knowledge on terminal servers is very limited, so what I would like to know is how I can map an IP address/port number to a device file.

For example my fax software on HPUX looks for a device file but the only way I can reach the terminal server modem is by telnetting to ip/port number.

Any pointers/documents/howtos etc would be greatly appreciated.

Look into ddfa
/etc/ddfa

We use it for modems on Baynetworks RA2000's

when setup in /etc/ddfa/dp and issuing
ddfa dp they start ocd processes and create
/dev/telnet files that can/should be linked to /dev/tty??? of your choice
our /etc/ddfa
128.1.2.11 XX/5009 /dev/telnet/tty400 /etc/ddfa/pcf
ps -ef|grep ocd
root 816 1 0 Jul 19 ? 0:27 ocd -n128.1.2.11 -f/dev/telnet/tty400 -bXX -p5009 -c/etc/ddf

ll /dev/tty400
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 18 Apr 17 08:32 /dev/tty400 -> /dev/telnet/tty400

Can anyone point me to a good HOWTO for ddfa? Especially for setting up modems.
