Does anybody out there have the equivalent of ualarm() for a 3B2/300, or a
way I can get at such functionality? (I have R the FM.) Also does anyone
have a PTY driver that does not require /dev/ni?
Thanks in advance!!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <sigh> We're running about a dozen 3B2's here. There's a program I'm working on that I want/need to port to some of our 3B2s -- among other things, it is a light- weight thread scheduler. I need the equivalent of ualarm() for it -- ie an alarm() call that can send me a SIGALRM every 1/10th of a second or so. Now, the man page for clock or something tells me that the 3B line has a clock res- olution of 1/100th of a second.... so WHERE THE !@#!@&* is a call or function or kludge or _SOMETHING!!!!_ that can get at it?! Using alarm() and just making do with nonpreemptive scheduling is not acceptable. On another note, does anyone have a pty driver and Unix-domain sockets that will run WITHOUT Wollongong TCP/IP? We're looking at perhaps MAYBE using 3BNET for RFS but need ptys to be able to do real interactive logins.
