using CON: for read/write:
I have found that using open/close/read/write
works better when trying to use the console. I have
not had any luck with fopen.
On SER:
Does anyone know how to set up the serial port for
XON/XOFF use for input only? I have a terminal emulator
which opens the serial device (opendevice()) and does some
copying to get 2 message ports. This sets up a situation
where a ^S from the remote computer will cause the amiga
to stop sending output. However, I would like the following:
^S from amiga when buffer is full
pass through the ^S recieved from the remote computer.
Does anyone have any suggestions? As near as I can tell, if you
turn XON/XOFF processing on you get it both ways. For you unixers
out there, I want "stty ixon -ixoff -ixany"
thanks much

Bryce Nesbitt of CBM is rewriting the serial device and I swear he told me that the new one for 1.4 will support separate input and output X-on/X-off. In the meantime, the only solution is to by-pass the built in X-on/X-off and do your own checking for CTRL-S, CTRL-Q. -- Marco Papa -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I have a hand written assembly routine that can do serial IO and could easily be modified to do xon/xoff the way you want it. It does have a small bug in the output buffering though. If you know a little assembly you could fix it up I'm sure.
