There's been some discussion lately about having a getty for Tandy
Xenix 3.x that allows one to set up an inbound modem to switch between
300, 1200 and 2400 baud. Someone (michael@stb?) said that they had
written a getty and would post it.
So what's the problem? All versions of Tandy Xenix since 3.1.0 have
been able to do just that! In an addendum that came with the 3.1
upgrade package (_Using_the_Dial_Program_), the following `speed' codes
for use in /etc/ttys were defined:
Code Baud Rate cycle
3 1200 -> 300
5 300 -> 1200
P 300 -> 1200 -> 2400
Q 1200 -> 2400 -> 300
R 2400 -> 300 -> 1200

What is this? I had to re-write (ok, modify) dial to get it to work properly. I had to re-write a getty because none of the numbered switches documented in the manual (obvious place to look, right?:-) would work. <sigh>. Where can I get this beast? Sounds like it can be useful. Michael p.s. Why not 2400 -> 1200 -> 300? The opinions represented here are a result of being educated at a school that discriminates againts roosters. Only the birds are responsible.
