Hello folks,

I've got to take a file and spew it out either comm port 1 or 2 and
I was wondering if anybody could tell me the name of the device that
stands for either of these ports.

As well, would the format be:

"filename" > "devicename"

If anybody has the answers, could they please quickly e-mail me at
buf...@ra.isisnet.com.

Thanks in advance,
Davis Bennett

If you are accessing a standard serial port COM1 would be considered
/dev/tty1a (/dev/tty1A for same device with modem control) and COM2
would be considered
/dev/tty2a (/dev/tty2A for same device with modem control).
