Yet another SCO Xenix V/386 2.3.1 problem.... If you're using "who" with options, be VERY careful. We just isolated a very strange problem. The system was repeatedly disconnecting our outgoing uucp calls with a TIMEOUT error during dialing. After some investigation, we determined that using "who" with the -T option (which displays the "writable" status of a terminal line) is extremely dangerous; that is, it does something to the line which causes it to either be disconnected or return an error status. More data points: Tele-386 System unit Standard (ST412) disk drives Anvil intelligent Serial board, driver version 2.1.7 This _may_ be a problem in the Anvil drivers. If someone else out there would check this out without the Anvil card (ie: some other intelligent serial board) and let me know if it shows up there I'd appreciate it.
