by I am using Linux 1.0 (I just upgraded using the MCC release) and
DIP 3.3.7-lilo-3.2. I have been able to get SLIP working but after
I use it once, my modem is in a weird state. If I try to use DIP
a second time then when I do "port /dev/ttyS1" it hangs. Ctl-C successfully
gets me out of DIP but I need to reboot before DIP can again get my ttyS1 port.
If I use kermit I have to Ctl-C but then I am in the "C-Kermit>" prompt
and then kermit works fine.
While poking around the kernel man-pages (Unix is not for the faint
of heart!) I found setserial (Is that right? I am sending from my
office so I don't have it here.) and there seemed to be something
about "sak" - requiring a ctl-break to get the serial port's attention.
I don't know if this is related or not. I tried "setserial (or whatever
the command was) /dev/ttyS1 ^sak" which the man page said should change
that parameter to false but that didn't help.
Any help would be appreciated.
news group (though I did look through it for possible help and it was
tremendous help in getting SLIP working in the first place).
I will forward the summary to this newsgroup.
thanks
