If you do a "stty litout" I think it always works but if you just set the appropiate bit with an ioctl it doesn't catch. At least on DH's the software bit never makes it into the hardware registers. To make it always work you need to do something that actually mucks with the hardware DH registers. (For example I get and set the tty speed to its original value). Doing this has the side effect of setting the litout mode and lets you have 8 bits of output. If you have questions please mail me a note....It really does work (an eight bit path and flow control....I have it driving an Epson printer.) Cheers, Malcolm
