Re: stty 0; stty 19200 on modem1, 1 patch...

Hello Juergen,

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.
