Can FTAu: devices be disconnectable (virtual?)

» close window

The Question is:

 
Hi,
 
I'm trying to find information on how to enable virtual
terminals for FTAx: terminal devices.
 
Any help would be appreciated!
 
Thanks
 

The Answer is :

 
  Virtual terminals are created when the terminal is marked as "disconnect",
  when the virtual terminal driver is loaded, and when the terminal driver
  receives an unsolicited interrupt.  By default, most applications creating
  pseudo terminals do so with an application with a channel assigned to the
  terminal, and this channel assignment effectively prevents the unsolicited
  data path (necessary for the creation of a virtual terminal) from being
  triggered.
 
  In other words, FTAx: devices are not supported as virtual terminals.
