-
- This would be a kludge but it would not solve the problem that the process
- would not get a HUP signal when e.g. phone line is hung up or modem power fails
- or CD drops somehow. I have learnt meanwhile that a special device is necessary
- (or a driver flag) to make for instance the open() block as long as CD is
- inactive so that getty only gets the open satisfied until a call is coming in.
-
- I'm presently trying to get the driver-flags.cgd and com.cgd patches
- working for this purpose. These patches are difficult to apply when other
- patches have been made upon the original files already, BTW.
-
- Sigh. Oh, folks, 386BSD already did cost me my this year's vacation already.
- Do I have all this time?
