I have had the pleasure of using one for a week or so (512 memory board, single floppy) & by God it is real Unix! The disk swapping is a bit of a pain but the fcc compiler works fine & the printer is nice & quiet so I can work late while infants sleep. I regularly use several mice(meese?) & I find the HP mouse actually the nicest. The whole setup with plasma display & a nice keyboard* etc. really is a 'pro tool'. (& 20 month old Kathryn likes to make 'stars & circles, daddy', too). Questions: Ken Bronstein said he had a minimal kermit for the IPC - could I get a copy?(BTW - the vt100 emulator works fine - compiled on floppy compiler without a wimper-thanks- presently adding bells & whistles) stty- I can't seem to grok getting the baud rate change to work - just what is the right syntax?(Is there a lock file or some flag that would keep the change from taking place?) I would like to access it directly & from inside a program. Using stty as on another system doesn't seem to get it done but there are no error messages. lp - is there actually a filter for the laser printer or do all the escape codes need to be in the file? * we just got some HP 9000's & I see the keyboard is essentially the same- I was impressed.
