Perhaps it would be good to add this to the : man page ? Thanks for the help in getting it working! This gets the console working, but does nothing to help with the wiring of units to the underlying hardware. There were changes to make this happen, but they have been rejected by one person so we're trying to work out something better. The switch from sio, which kludged around the problem, to uart, which doesn't, has brought this problem more to the fore-front. WarnerReceived on Sat Jul 26 2008 - 19:51:35 UTC
