Hello,

are there any changes in the way lkms work between 1.6.1 and 2. ? Will a 
1.6.1 lkm work directly in 2. (assuming it is recompiled under the 2. 
source tree) ?

And: Is there a known problem with expect under netbsd when expect talks 
directly to a modem ? I have some really strange things happening. This 
seems to be related to the /dev/dtyxx problem since replacing the tty 
with a spawned cat process fixes the problem.

More to the point: If I cause a modem to dial and connect to a remote 
modem using expect, and then send data through the modem, the tty 
associated with the modem goes crazy and huge amounts of NULs and 
repeated bits of previous buffers start to appear in the expect input 
strings. This is really annoying. I would like to know if this is a tty 
problem or an expect problem. I cannot post a simple script to duplicate 
the problem (I will do that later if necessary). Handshake problems are 
excluded (internal modem on ISA, no serial cable).

So is there a known problem with ttyxx and/or expect in a modem context 
in 1.6.1 ? And if there is, has it been fixed in 2.? (assuming it is in 
tty and not in expect).

I know I should upgrade and I am ready to do that but I have some things 
to finish before that.

thanks,
Peter
