When attaching a dumb vt100-terminal to the Amiga-500's serial port I
succeeded in starting up the communication.(I started newcli ser:).
However, the following problem arose:
If you want a command to be executed it seems to be necessary to fill 
the serial port's buffer (which has a minimum of 1/2kilobytes according to
'preferences') with newlines.
I expect a new driver will be needed for full interactive use.
Question is: is there a way to use the standard driver for the communication
or will a quite differing one be needed.
Second question then is: Does anyone have a better one, or do you know where to
get it?
I sincerely hope for a solution.

						regards
