Let F be a lift of a homeomorphism f : T-2 --> T-2 homotopic to the id
entity. We assume that the rotation set rho(F) is a line segment with
irrational slope. In this paper we use the fact that T-2 is necessaril
y chain transitive under f if f has no periodic points to show that if
upsilon is an element of rho(F) is a rational point, then there is a
periodic point x is an element of T2 such that upsilon is its rotation
vector.
