using CON: for read/write:
	I have found that using open/close/read/write
	works better when trying to use the console.  I have
	not had any luck with fopen.

On SER:
	Does anyone know how to set up the serial port for
	XON/XOFF use for input only?  I have a terminal emulator
	which opens the serial device (opendevice()) and does some
	copying to get 2 message ports.  This sets up a situation
	where a ^S from the remote computer will cause the amiga
	to stop sending output.  However, I would like the following:

	^S from amiga when buffer is full
	pass through the ^S recieved from the remote computer.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  As near as I can tell, if you
turn XON/XOFF processing on you get it both ways.  For you unixers
out there, I want "stty ixon -ixoff -ixany"

thanks much
brian
