Re: [IPCop-devel] Bug Report and Problems with Telstra Modem

Looking at the Serial HOWTO, it says that when serial ports are used 
(including USB type ones, such as we are using) that a lock file is 
written to /var/lock, including the PID of the process that locked the port.

I wonder if it is possible to add to the disconnect script (e.g. that 
runs when one clicks the 'Disconnect' button) a command that clears the 
lock.  Or it clears the lock when the connect script is run (but would 
not clear the lock if there is already a successful connection).

I will have a play tonight and see what happens.
