We have found a problem in 4.1a when transferring a quantity of data into the machine over a dh line, using say cu. The 4.1a host issues a ^S to temporarliy stop the flow, but when the buffers are empty, forgets to ^Q it again. Has anybody else come across this?

This is a long-standing bug in the tty driver from V7 days. I have reported it several times to Berkeley, apparently without getting to the attention of anyone in a position to do anything about it. I will mail you the fix (relative to 4.1 sources), or can post if necessary. Changes affect: /sys/dev/tty.c /sys/dev/ttynew.c /sys/dev/ttyold.c As I don't have 4.2 sources, the changes may have to be integrated pretty much by hand, as the kernel source organization changed considerably. Total changes affect ~10 lines of original source. - Alan S. Watt { decvax, duke, purdue, dcdwest }!ittvax!swatt (old UUCP mail) swatt@ittvax.UUCP (new UUCP sendmail)
