I have a B2000 at home, and sometimes connect a terminal to the serial port. One of the things I have going on the terminal is an editor (comes in useful sometimes, besides being an extra screen). To access the serial port, I open serial.device, etc, as described in KRM, (rather than opening SER:). My problem is this: when I send off a read request, with DoIO, it occasionally returns an error status. This status has always been 6. RKM says that 6 is "SerErr_LineErr", or something equally cryptic. Does anyone know what this error really means? Thanks in advance. -- ------- Matthew Donaldson matthew@cs.ua.oz.au Operating Systems Group Computer Science Department University of Adelaide
