Humble Pie:
I more or less ragged on HP about the IPC a few weeks back & I
would like to make amends. I have had the pleasure of using one for a
week or so (512 memory board, single floppy) & by God it is real Unix!
The disk swapping is a bit of a pain but the fcc compiler works fine
& the printer is nice & quiet so I can work late while infants sleep.
I regularly use several mice(meese?) & I find the HP mouse actually
the nicest. The whole setup with plasma display & a nice keyboard* etc.
really is a 'pro tool'. (& 20 month old Kathryn likes to make 'stars &
circles, daddy', too).
Questions:
Ken Bronstein said he had a minimal kermit for the IPC - could I
get a copy?(BTW - the vt100 emulator works fine - compiled on floppy
compiler without a wimper-thanks- presently adding bells & whistles)
stty- I can't seem to grok getting the baud rate change to work -
just what is the right syntax?(Is there a lock file or some flag that
would keep the change from taking place?) I would like to access it
directly & from inside a program. Using stty as on another system
doesn't seem to get it done but there are no error messages.
lp - is there actually a filter for the laser printer or do all the
escape codes need to be in the file?
* we just got some HP 9000's & I see the keyboard is essentially the same-
I was impressed.

A full blown kermit is on its way...
stty- you are better off using ioctl() calls from a program. I sent
an example of some code along with kermit. However realize you can
control the setting of the serial device without ever writing code by
using the stty command shipped with the Integral. For example:
1) open the serial device (say "cat </dev/cul00")
2) use stty to set or view the serial device configuration.
To view the configuration say "stty -a </dev/cul00"
To set, say the BAUD rate say "stty 9600 </dev/9600"
In general when the serial device is open'd use the stty command with
input redirected from the serial device file. Note that doing this
allows your to have an HP2622 terminal emulator window wihtout ever
writing a line of code.
