I've got a Telebit T2500 on a lightly loaded (one other 2400 baud modem) eports
board, and I'm weighing the merits of hardware flow control. First off is how
to get epstty hfc to be run when both inbound and outbound uucicos are started.
Here's what I've thought of so far:
A shell script to call epstty and then uucico as nuucp's login shell
This wouldn't work for outbound calls :-(
Something off the wall, like linking a pty to the port and running
epstty against that. Is epstty smart enough to see through
this?
Give up on it, and stay with no flow control
This may be a fool's errand, since I remember what a hard time even skid-fixed
eports drivers have with buffered devices. I'm thinking of laser printers in
particular. Since there is some skid in a T2500, it might not be a good idea.
By the way... If anyone has this working, how did you change your ACU modem
adaptor? Pinouts, please.
Thanks!
