I wrote a terminal emulator which works fine for a modem, but it doesn't work for a Mac whose serial port is connected directly to a Unix box. There is no hardware reset button. My question is, how do you get the prompt message from the Unix host? How can I make software calls to achieve the same effect as the hardware reset button? Thanks Pai Chou chou@sim.berkeley.edu

If that doesn't work, try dropping DTR (csCode = 18 to serial driver) sending a break, and raising DTR (cscode = 17) -- Matthew T.
