Summary: I'm having the "where's SIGIO gone" blues. Message-ID: Date: 6 Dec 90 15:27:10 GMT Sender: news@odin.corp.sgi.com (Net News) Reply-To: scotth@sgi.com (Scott Henry) Distribution: comp Organization: Silicon Graphics Inc, Mountain View, CA Lines: 19 Has anybody ported xntp to non-BSD systems? I'm mostly having a problem writing a driver for the Kinemetrics TrueTime GOES clock. (This is my first attempt at working on a driver/daemon type program). SGI's version of Unix (Irix) is SVR3 with most of BSD-4.3 as extensions. Of course I'm having problems with the "missing" parts. The TrueTime clock sends out a continuous 1pps data stream, but SIGIO isn't sent from the serial ports... Has anybody generated a version of xntpd that doesn't use SIGIO, or written a driver for the TrueTime clock that they's be willing to send patches to me? I'd really like outside confirmation about my approache(s). thanks very much. \\scott -- Scott Henry / Traveller on Dragon Wings Information Services, / Help! My disclaimer is missing!
