- Hello Juergen,
-
- > (ooh all these hacks, we really need `real' tty devices, for all ports...)
-
- Oh, yes we do. I had attempted to allow remote logins using /dev/modem1
- and Stephen Usher's init-getty-login package, but found so many
- limitations that it was almost unusable. This was the reason why I
- wrote modm0dev (it is on atari.archive) to implement a "real" device for
- the first serial port.
-
- It works quite well for my needs, and interfaces easily with init. It
- offers two devices (/dev/ttyb for dial-in, /dev/cua0 for dial-out)
- mutually exclusive, with the usual semantics (I think) and able to raise
- SIGHUP and SIGINT when appropriate. The main problem is that it loses
- characters at high speeds (19200bps) on my poor Atari ST; but I cannot
- determine where the problem really lies. It would be interesting if
- someone else had tried this driver, and could tell more about this.
-
- Apart from that, I also have a (buffered and interrupt-based) device
- driver for the Centronics port, if someone is interested...
-
- Thierry.
