Helo,
i have one serial device which consists of 30 com ports. after installing driver of this device,it will detects 30 com ports like /dev/ttys0,/dev/ttys1 ....../dev/ttys30.
now 30 com ports are connected with telephny model(each modem has com port).
now i want to establish commnucation b/w them.
like data may come on any serial port. after extracting the data packet, server send data to the corresponding com port.
now if can i use socket on serial communication. if it is possible then how to use socket on serialm ports and how to make design for handling 30 com ports simultaneously
Regards,
Amit

1. this sounds very familiar, search this site for almost exactly the same problem.

2. don't use sockets, use serial device file descriptors.
