Eventually they will be for exceptions (urgent data, errors, and the like). -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 4251) UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@mimsy.umd.edu

I believe an exception in the case is defined by the device driver. I don't think anyone has implemented it with the possible exception (no pun intended) of network driver that send SIGURG on OOB data.
