I found this posting:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/1999/12/24/0003.html
which seems to reflect what I am seeing. Is the data in that posting
still valid ? (I will try it anyway)
Ok, I tried. It works but I don't know why.
(stty 115200 crtscts clocal; sleep 120) </dev/tty01 &
works and then I can use chat etc. But even after this command exits I
can still use chat! As opposed to running it without a separate process
(stty -f ...) when it did not. The magic sauce was:
(stty 115200 crtscts clocal; sleep 2) </dev/ttyXX
thereafter it works (the settings operate and are retained). The
commands:
stty -f /dev/ttyXX 115200 crtscts clocal
etc, did not have the same effect.
thanks,
Peter
