The port and speed options are used to select
|
|
the device used for calling the remote system, and the maximum
|
|
speed to which the device should be set.<A HREF="footnode.html#6030"><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="gif" SRC="foot_motif.gif"></A> A system entry may use either option alone, or both options
|
|
in conjunction. When looking up a suitable device in the port
|
|
file, only those ports are selected that have a matching port name
|
|
and/or speed range.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Generally, using the speed option should suffice. If you have
|
|
only one serial device defined in port, uucico will always
|
|
pick the right one, anyway, so you only have to give it the desired
|
|
speed. If you have several modems attached to your systems, you still
|
|
often don't want to name a particular port, because if uucico
|
|
finds that there are several matches, it tries each device in turn until
|
|
it finds an unused one.
