I disagree.
ELLE still uses the old-style ioctl(2) from 1.3, which drops
the carrier on 1.5-systems (that is, if you have code that
drops the carrier when 'ispeed' becomes 0 (or, B0).

As you may understand, this causes 'some grief' amongst the
ELLE users on my public-access system ('minixug')....

Therefore, I would suggest it being recompiled using the 1.5.10
library, and then reposted.

I wouldbe happy to do so, if I only knew how to set up a cross
development system on MS-DOS (Andy?)...

	previous posting in which I explained the addressing
	problems of 'minixug'...
