One of the ports is going to be used with a nulmodem cable. Therefor, an stty clocal should be issued, in order for it to work. However, I can't find any means on how to do this automatically when re- booting (unless i'd do a stty -f /dev/com00 clocal in rc.local, which I consider ugly. Does anyone have another solution? Another thing is that stty < /dev/<device> blocks whenever the device is unused...This seems strange to me. Also when i do a stty <params> > /dev/device things block. In stty's sources however, it is explicitly checked that stty isnt using the wrong rederiction. Still it isn't detected. I can only imagine that the shell opens the device, and hangs, because it waits on the open. Why does this go wrong on 386bsd and succeeds on (e.g) a sun (SunOs 4.1.1) -Guido
