- Hi!
-
- May be this simply is a faq ? (I did not get a Sun-Modem-FAQ yet)
- or may be it's simply not in the hardware, but...
-
- On the first four ports of our ALM2(aka MCP0)-Board we get the
- Hardware-Handshake to work setting 'crtscts'.
- On ALL OTHER ports Pin 4 simply does nothing !
- In case of connection faster than 9600bd
- (or without XON/XOFF) the Line is then unusable.
-
- Does anybody know what to change ? Please mail to 'stucki@math.fu-berlin.de'.
-
- The manual ('man mcp') says only at the end the following cryptic message:
- BUGS
- Note: pin 4 is used for hardware flow control on ALM-2 ports
- 0 through 3. These two pins should n o t be tied together on
- the ALM end.
- :-) nothing much, i think ! THANKS A LOT, sincerely yours, Stucki
