The SIO man page calls this a bug in the application code; what idiocy. Has anyone fixed this already? I'd hate to fix something and then find out there's already a working version out there. Looks to be a fairly involved effort, too - gonna have to rework some of the way the buffering is done so that the driver can throttle back via RTS when it must. - Tim Iverson iverson@lionheart.com
