I need to monitor several serial ports for input to a SUN 3/150 with an ALM-2. From reading the man pages, it seems that I can open the tty's and then _poll_ using the list of fds and _read_ the inputs that are found, or I can use _select_ and then _read_. Also how are _read_ and _getmsg_ different. Are these just BSD vs. SYS V differences? In whcih case, which is the POSIX solution? Send responses to me and I WILL summarize and post (whatever I have received) next week. -- TANX roger ral@hydra.jpl.nasa.gov
