- btw there's also a patched version the linux people use that has that
- /dev/tty nonsense thrown out, if someone wants it i can dig it out.

- well i don't think you could run a zmodem over GEMDOS AUX: anyway,
- i haven't yet seen a TOS version where the GEMDOS tty stuff isn't
- hopelessly broken. (first problem: how would you put it in RAW mode? :-)
-
- use MiNT and forget TOS...
