- > WHAT is the difference between the serial port devices -- ttym, ttyd, ttyf?
-
- You might want to read duart(7) which says, in part:
-
- By opening either the ttyd*, ttym*, or ttyf* device of a port, different
- hardware signals are supported. Typically, ttyd* is used for direct
- connect devices such as most terminals; ttym* is used for devices that
- use modem control such as modems; and ttyf* is used for devices that
- understand hardware flow control such as most printers. See serial(7)
- and the chapter "Terminals, Modems, and Dumb Printers" in the IRIS-4D
- System Administrator's Guide for detailed information on supported
- signals.
