--------------------
I have a problem with restoring Xon/Xoff settings after I have used Dnet:
Ser: no longer can be set to respond to a received Xoff character when output
redirecting a textfile to ser:. No amount of preferences persuading can
convince ser: to use Xon/Xoff handshake. The only way I can restore such is
to reboot. Just for the record, RTS/CTS handshake is not affected, works
properly under all conditions that I have tried, and is selectable using
preferences.
I have looked at Matt's code, and while not familiar with proper use of the
serial device, I can't really see that Matt is doing anything to cause this
behavior. Matt apparently doesn't understand why it behaves this way either
(hope I'm not putting words in his mouth).
Also, I have tried to use a couple of comm programs to send textfiles, but
they have to same problem, complete with the inability to turn Xon/Xoff
handshake back on once Dnet has used the serial port. Also I should note that
only the dnet connect window is required to perform this feat. I.e. the Dnet
protocol doesn't have to be started up to permanently turn off Xon/Xoff
handshake. Dnet is the only thing I have which causes such behavior, but
then I don't collect comm programs as a rule.
I'm using an A500.
Anyone know what going on here? Any suggestion for fixing it?
Thanks, (Thanks for Dnet, Matt)
