I have two Sparcstations connected to a laser printer sharing box that uses CTS for handshaking. (Several PCs are also connected to the same box.) One of the Sparcs works fine. The other one, identically configured as far as I can tell, has a problem: in spite of "eeprom ttyb-ignore-cd=true", it won't transmit unless CD is high. Normally, with this setup, CD is left disconnected. I can "fix" the problem in hardware by tying CD to CTS, but before doing this, I want to know what's wrong in the first place, or how to solve it in software. Is there an stty parameter that controls whether CD is ignored, and overrides the parameter in the eeprom?
