Re[2]: modem problems

Actually, it's worse than just what follows the "CONNECT". If the line quality goes down, most modems will drop speed accordingly. That would mean an change in speed at the tty "on the fly". That is rather hard to predict... jim __ Reply Separator _

I can't say debian is "posix conformant". However, I have been developing c code on hpux, dec osf1, and aix for some years now. Linux is as good as any of those. When it comes to supporting old standards like bsd, linux is probably a bit better. To be an actual factual posix system you have to

On the bash thing... I think it was a posix compliance thing. The man page for the posix shell states that "{" and "}" are reserved words and the usage is like: { list ; } The man page also states that ";" is a metacharacter that can be replaced by one or more newlines. So the followin

Re[2]: 'tell' is missing from libc6

Printing to the aux port of a terminal has been done before. SCO Xenix used to do it (about 10 years ago) with Wyse terminals. I have heard about printing through vt type terminals off dec vax machines. I once wrote a program to do it through hp terminals (with rte-a, not unix). It probably does
