[net.micro.apple] //c serial ports

Well, I posted too soon...sigh.

Well, I looked in my trusty back issues of Open-Apple and lo and behold,
the problem manifests itself.  I boot up the //c system utilities,
select "configure the serial ports" and set everything the same except
"do not send CR" for line width.  The program now works quite nicely,
though a tad slow.  Anyone interested in it?  If so, I'll post it.
Otherwise, I'll put some bells and whistles on it, then post it.  It's a
nice little routine, though it uses almost $150 bytes of lookup tables.
SIGH.  I guess I really should calculate base addresses.

Send me e-mail if your interested.  Soon I'll post a routine to set the
serial ports on a //c any way you'd like, and that show you how to do it
in your own programs...(geez, I sound like a book :-)
