The bug is not in the SLIP package but in the pty driver. ptyioctl() resets the line discipline to the standard discipline if the input routine gets set to something other then ttyinput(). The original 4.3BSD slip code is compatible in handling the tty queues with the standard line discipline so it's feasible to not reset the line discipline if it's changed to the slip line discipline. -- Christoph Badura --- bad@flatlin.ka.sub.org Personally, I don't care whether someone is cool enough to quote Doug Gwyn--I only care whether Doug Gwyn is cool enough to quote. -- Larry Wall
