NAME
ttyd - Remote Modem Utility for Unix
SYNOPSIS
ttyd -d pty device [ options ] host port
DESCRIPTION
This man page documents the ttyd remote modem daemon. The ttyd daemon
is fully telnet compatible allowing programs to connect to any remote
device such as networked modems and terminal servers as if they were
local devices as long as the device utilizes the telnet protocol.
After opening a Master Pseudo tty device, the daemon will wait for some
other process to open the corresponding slave device. Once the slave
device is opened, a connection will be made, using the telnet protocol,
to a remote server. The remote end may be any server supporting the
telnet protocol such as a terminal server, network modem, or the
termnetd process.
For reference, in Linux the Master Pseudo tty devices art the devices
/dev/pty[a-ep-z][0-9a-f] and the slave devices are /dev/tty[a-ep-
z][0-9a-f]. Other Unices may have different naming schemes.
OPTIONS
-b baud-rate

-d pty device
Master Pseudo tty device to open and wait for a connection on.

settings Configures the port as specified by port settings.
-n No detach, do not run as a background process.
The host and port parameters specify the host and IP port to connect to
when the Slave Pseudo device is opened.
