In a program that sends data through the serial line, I have a dialog that sets the line parameters (line speed, parity, etc.) However, I haven't discovered anything in Inside Mac that tells me how to determine the current parameters, i.e., "Get" equivalents to SerReset and SerHShake. Thanks for any suggestions. Martin Minow minow@thundr.enet.dec.com

Nope, as far as I know there's no way to find out what the current settings are, short of horrible practices like going out and talking to the SCC directly. In my programs, I keep a record of what I set the line to so I can return that information. Note that the Comm Toolbox does have a get configuration function.
