- I tried to make sense out of all the sysv mechanisms to handle
- ports, and finally told my self that it's not worth doing for
- managing one or two serial ports.
-
- In svr4, everything is under the `Service Access Facility',
- under which you use the sacadm administrative command and
- configure `port monitors' (with pmadm.) Then these port mon
- -itors manages services, such as ttymon (which you configure
- using yet another command, ttyadm.)
-
- Within sysadm there is also a `Quick Port Setup' or something
- like that. However, I believe this is badly broken, since it
- changes some kernel parameters incorrectly. It might be in
- Eric's bug-FAQ.
-
- So, I decided to use uugetty. Sure, it `will not be supported'
- in future releases, but that's for another day...
