(It's also funny that the first > thing their software does is disable interrupts.) ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ Any program which uses interrupts should do this first! If you attempt to initialize possible sources of interrupts (such as UART chips) while CPU interrupts are enabled, and should an interrupt occur during that initialization, then disaster might result. Probably sometime after this initialization is complete, CPU interrupts are re-enabled. Of course, this does not mean that the Kermit program you describe handles interrupts properly. > > Dave Brennan - usere0ft@RPITSMTS.BITNET Mike Kokodyniak
