yes I had, and my drive is still in the shop...


:So what's the problem?  All versions of Tandy Xenix since 3.1.0 have
:been able to do just that!  In an addendum that came with the 3.1
:upgrade package (_Using_the_Dial_Program_), the following `speed' codes
:for use in /etc/ttys were defined:
:
:	Code	Baud Rate cycle
:
:	 P	300 -> 1200 -> 2400
:	 Q	1200 -> 2400 -> 300
:	 R	2400 -> 300 -> 1200

What addendum? What is this?

I had to re-write (ok, modify) dial to get it to work properly. I had to
re-write a getty because none of the numbered switches documented in the
manual (obvious place to look, right?:-) would work.

<sigh>.

Where can I get this beast? Sounds like it can be useful.

p.s. Why not 2400 -> 1200 -> 300?
