- I have a program that is using the level 1 file I/O commands (open, read,
- write) to communicate via the serial port via AUX: i.e.
-
- fh = open("aux:", O_RDWR);
-
- For the most part, the program works fine, the problem is local echo. If I
- stick a dumb terminal to the serial port and run my program, I get the
- character I typed back. This is not good. If I run VLT instead of my
- program, I don't get the echo. This is what I want.
-
- The serial preferences give no such options, and none of the file handling
- C routines offer any way to manipulate echo. It must be modifiable, but
- where/how? Is there something I can do when I
-
- mount aux:
-
- to turn off echo?
-
- Thanks and regards,
- Steve
