Matthew,

Your modem driver contains a lot of code independent from the hardware.
This code exists in the pppd/ and modem/.
I have written a driver, which works with my hardware, and
I need to know how it must interact with this independent code:

>1. What must driver do, when interrupt of received data from my port occures?
>   Must it call 'pppinput' function for characters from this data?
>2. What must driver do then it's 'read' function calls?
>3. What must driver do then it's 'write' function calls?
>   Must it simple send data to my port?
>4. What must be done in it's 'ioctl' function?

Beforehand grateful,
