While I do understand the br# setting and am indeed aware of what rw does, I have no clue as to what fc#, fs#, xc# or xs# settings are required for the stupid thing to work. Yes, I have RTFM printcap(5) except it points to nifty #include files Please, would some kind soul ot there tell me what flags I should set (using which switch) for 8bit, no parity, no xon/xoff, h/w flow control (if at all), no conversion on output, no conversion on input (basically raw). Thanks, Bernard
