Lines: 25 I sent this to comp.sys.sun last week but it hasn't appeared yet and it's getting more urgent. We need to be able to read a ) reliable stream of 8-bit data from a serial line into a Sun-3 without using any error-free protocols - we want to use hardware handshaking. Sun tech support say that hardware handshake is only supported in the other direction. An unsupported product - exact nature unknown - is available from Sun consulting services for about 700 pounds. Does anyone know of any cheap solutions? I really think this should be supported in the standard product. Is this expected in 4.1? -- -------------------------------------------- Dave Allen Monotype International ADG Science Park Milton Road Cambridge CB4 4FQ England dave@moncam.UUCP
