Mailing List Archive: AS5350s ttys vs. async ints

Hi,
A real quick question to which I'm quite sure of the answer however
I've been asked to confirm. When users dial into our 5350 modem pool with
a script.....they connect to a tty, let's say 1/105, authenticate and then
start up PPP which 'invokes' (for lack of a better word ) int async 1/105.
It appears that there is a direct 1 to 1 correlation between ttys and
async interfaces. So, there's no chance that someone could connect to tty
1/102 and somehow invoke int async 2/98?..........right?........ie......if
tty 1/103 is never accessed then int async 1/103 will never be used?

........thanks in advance................Jamie

Very true - async 1/105 and tty 1/105 denote one and the same
modem/line/interface. The "line" data structure handles the
physical/character mode aspects of the line, and the "interface" data
structure handles the framed aspects of the connection (layer 2 framing
such as PPP/SLIP, layer 3 attributes such as IP.)
