hello, Im looking for a good general reference for the pty interface in BSD 4.2 unix (sunOS 3.5, 4.0). I am writing a interface for a serial communication project. It's going to be an example of serial communication between unix machines using tty. To test this out I will be using the pty interface. There is going to be a program that sits between the two machines that messes up the serial IO, this is to test out the error correction code. This program will be used to teach students the fun of serial communication. I have read section 4 for ptys and its not much help. I have some examples of code and have learned much, but I need more info. Any good suggestion? thanks. tim@vax1.cc.uakron.edu
