I know in some versions of some device drivers, the ioctls don't work and don't return the error [that is, the hardward device is not capable of sending a hardware break and the device driver writer did not bother to implement anything to overcome this problem or return and error.]; does your uucp not have these options in the genbrk subroutine? -- Stan uucp:{ihnp4!shell,rice}!neuro1!sob Opinions expressed Olan ARPA:sob@rice.arpa here are ONLY mine & Barber CIS:71565,623 BBS:(713)660-9262 noone else's.
