I can't use getc because I have other processing that must continue. It seems that I have to use ioctl in order to query the terminal directly. Is this the best way to do it? If so, does anybody have an example of a driver that uses it. If this is not the best way, what should I do? I'm using a Sun 3/260. Any insight would be appreciated! John
