- Hello...yes, all HAIL. Greg Carter is BACK...
-
- WELL, FIRST OF ALL, Rsconf() only has 6 parameters.
-
- Try Rsconf(4,0,UCR,-1,-1,-1);
-
- The UCR is a bitmap that controls the various things your looking for
- in transmission format, suich as 8N1. Unfortunately, since I don't carry
- said bitmap with me everywhere I go, I can't tell you what the individual
- bits do.
-
- I will post my serial port goodies in a short while.

- UUCP - HERMES PEOPLE ALERT!
-
- Hey!
-
- Brave souls, I started up my HERMES mail software, and can't seem to
- get my environment set correctly.
-
- If anyone out there is running this thing, could you drop me a line so
- I can figure this out? I am really BAD at reading German. I have
- been trying to watch HOGANS HEROS re-runs every night but after a week
- and a fried brain, I still can't read the doc files.

- ACICS, we are talking MAJOR software engineering here folks...
