- While playing around with modm0dev I noticed that it is impossible to redirect
- Bios-devices 6-9 on a TT. It is just possible to redirect BIOS device 1, but
- that is useless as most terminal-programs use Bios-device 6 instead of 1 on a
- TT. So how should a redirection of these devices be implemented? Do we need new
- standard GEMDOS handles -6, -7,...?
- If so there must be significant changes in the MiNT sources as Bios device 1
- really should be an alias for the other ones...
-
- Finally I gave up and patched getty to `implement' dial-in and dial-out devices
- using a semaphore. Is anyone interested in these patches? They also include
- the possibillity to configure the modem via entries in /etc/gettytab and
- support automatically detection of incoming FAX and data-connections (currently
- for Junior/Tele-Office, but it should be easy to use any FAX-Software if the
- software has got a tos-program to receive FAXes.
