How to make PilorManager use stdin/stdout ?

[Martin Mueller <mm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I'm just struggling to get Modem-HotSync working and now facing the
problem how to make PilotManager just use stdin/stdout for the
HotSync? The "-sync" option is already a big win, but PilotManager
still tries to open the configured device.

I hacked mgetty-1.1.12 in a similar way to the AUTO_PPP option
to recognize a pilot HotSync-call. The problem however is, that
there is no need to switch baud rates or set tty-params.

The next would be to add some sort of user-management to the pilot
to be able to use the same modem by different people.

Are there any hints where to start. Unfortunatelly I know nothing 
of perl so any pointers are welcome.

bye
    MM

PS.: The patch is available from:
