-
- In the original 1003.1 discussions, I recall that we did not want to
- MANDATE that different split baud rates be supported, since many
- existing systems could not do so, but that we did want to ALLOW them
- to be supported in environments that could do so. Thus a request to
- set differing split baud rates may fail (as many almost any I/O
- system call), if the hardware or port handler code is not up to it.
-
- If this decision has been changed I'd like to know why.
