Who has the full poop on modem control for the /dev/term/ser device on AMIX 1.1? Specifically, does it do full duplex RTS/CTS hardware flow control. i.e. modem asserts CTS when it can handle data, computer asserts RTS when it can handle data. I.E. something that will keep my telebit from blasting the ser device to kingdom come, xon/xoff just don't cut it... I spent a few hours tonight with Mr. breakout box and found that ser seems to want RTS/CTS in certain states before it'll work properly. Are there special minor device numbers that will do clocal tricks or other such magic? Will rtsxon and ctsxoff work on ser? I noticed them whilst perusing the man pages for gory details. Additional info on the guts of the AMIX serial drivers would be appreciated, professional curiousity doncha know. B^). What's the 7 port serial card going for nowadays? Probably more than I can afford at this time. B^(. -Rob -- Rob Healey rhealey@digibd.com Digi International (DigiBoard) Eden Prairie, MN (612) 943-9020
