Even then, however, the typeahead (or altypeahead) buf can fill up before you get rescheduled to empty it; VMS sends ascii 07 (bell) for every character that overfloweth (or a complex escape sequence to lock your keyboard if DEVTYPE=VTxxx). When I am linked to BSD, it likes to echo ^G when it receives 07, and the ^G further overflows the buffer, so more 07s are sent, which causes more ^Gs to be echoed... finally you pull the plug or stop your process. wery wery smart design for a typeahead buf. I will try the unsolicited I-O. I've already tried every combination of READSYNCH, HOSTSYNC, and TTSYNCH. Anything is worth a try. Paul Vixie
