- Ok, I know it's not good form to follow-up your own postings, but...
-
- I have just discovered that replacing the COM driver with the
- bidirectional one from Chris (cgd@agate.berkely.edu) solved the
- problems I was having with screen over a serial line.
-
- Second, I'd like to point out something, and ask the "net-at-large"
- for a reasonable explanation.
-
- I copied the GENERICISA configuration file and *removed* the lines
- for ethernet devices (since I have none in my machine.) I then
- configured that kernel, and built it; adding the new com driver.
-
- Now, that driver isn't *too* different from the older one, and certainly
- without the 3 ethernet drivers, the kernel should be smaller. But,
- my new kernel is *MUCH* larger. Here's the sizes:
-
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 435539 Jul 21 00:02 386bsd
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 402301 Jul 14 19:08 386bsd.old
-
- Just to let everyone know...
