First, of all, thanxs to everybody for all the great information/suggestions that this newsgroup generates. We've definitely managed to keep the garbage/useful ratio at a real good level ;-) I've got a problem... I've been using a US robotics 2400 baud modem at home on my Sperry IT running 2.3-L. I first installed it as tty2 using ttypatch -i4 -a1000 -t2. It worked fine for a while, and then quit on me, either giving "no modem response" or connecting and then loosing characters left and right! modem works fine under DOS using the USR telpac package. but uport cu bombs out. I dont want to loose tty0 or tty1 from the sperry (neither can be moved to another port, only disabled) so would like to keep the modem as tty2. i've done the kernal patch to change the CAPS LOCK to a <CTRL> key. this may be the culprit, and i'll check this out this afternoon. if so, does anyone have a keyboard remapper that is safe? email suggestions and i'll summarize, or post if you think it's important. ===================================================================== Bill Rankin Bell Labs, Whippany NJ (201) 386-4154 (cornet 232) email address: ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd allegra ]!moss!wtr ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua watmath ]!clyde!wtr =====================================================================
