It should be mentioned that the Anvil Stuff is far from a "dumb serial card". It requires a special device driver, and the driver communicates with the card at the read/write/ioctl level. If the card is in cooked mode, the card does all of the cooking. I use the AIX version of the device driver. -- Nick Simicich --- uunet!bywater!scifi!njs --- njs@ibm.com (Internet)
