- Er no, my logout message is about 15 lines long. It was actually caused
- by OS/2's comm driver being too strict. In the setup line in CONFIG.SYS,
- if you use "DTR=ON" or "DTR=OFF" (the way it says you should) then OS/2
- doesn't seem to want to let Waffle toggle the DTR (interestingly, this
- problem *only* started happening after the 16550AFN and port switch to
- COM2) -- but if you just specify "DTR" with no parameters, OS/2 lets
- Waffle toggle the DTR -- hence allowing hangups.
