- Hi,
-
- Since installing version 4.0.1, I've had the desire to either write or
- acquire a terminal program for Coherent that will offer me some of the
- features that I use the most in Telemate (which I currently use under DOS).
-
- Investigating the situation more closely, I discovered that the device
- driver asy is what I need to control.
-
- I gather that the ioctl interface is what I need to use. Also, it seems that
- the header termio.h plays a part in this, but I could be mistaken.
-
- The books I've read indicate that the unix version 7 method of device
- interface was outlined in <sgtty.h>, but the System V method is outlined in
- <termio.h>. Since Coherent uses the latter, is it safe to say that Coherent
- is actually closer to System V than it is to version 7?
-
- I'd like to figure out how to read and write characters from the modem which
- is under control of the asy device driver. Any help in this is appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
-
