I have found the bug, and have a fix. The problem is with the setting of the speed. The speed gets set correctly but trashed by the next call to ioctl. In rs232.c, routine rs_config there is on the return statement a encoding of the speed. This encoding is wrong. You can bypass this by changing the last statement of rs_ioctl from return(speed) to return(speeds) Now I can login to MacMinix at 9600 baud from my apple //e. The next problem you might have is with the terminal. The default has 25 lines, which will cause a lot of trouble with terminal emulators. The fix for this is to alter /etc/termcap to have a new entry vt100 with the proper settings. I also looked around at the routines in rs232.c and they seem correct, but I do often get a "can't set params" error on the console with regard to the serial port. So there still might be some small bug in there, at least the login now works. If anyone finds a problem with my fix let me now. -- Canada Remote Systems. Toronto, Ontario NorthAmeriNet Host
