I regularly do this and find that sending from the Apollo to the Mac usually works okay (although it works more reliably if I use the -e flag to escape control characters). To the Apollo almost always fails at 19.2 and often fails at 9600. The transfer just locks up, particularly if anything else is happening on the Apollo at the same time. I suppose it's too much to ask that someone finish tty support in SR11? (The person working on it at SR10 left Apollo in the middle and as far as I know nothing has been done since.) -kee -- Alphalpha Software, Inc. | motif-request@alphalpha.com nazgul@alphalpha.com |----------------------------------- 617/646-7703 (voice/fax) | Proline BBS: 617/641-3722 I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
