Two questions (I'll summarize replies by mail): 1. Does anyone have reasonably bulletproof code to reset the RS232 port (and handler) that doesn't hang up the phone? The reset button works, but it drops the connection. The *real* problem is that a noise burst seems to lock up my (home-made) terminal emulator: I can type, but nothing gets to the modem. (Hmm, perhaps its a modem problem?) 2. There are rumors of an undocumented gem call that tells the o.s. to use an in-memory font. (Uniterm does this, for example.) Code (in any language) would be appreciated. Thanks for your help. Martin Minow decvax!minow
