Lines: 27 Hmmm... Here's an interesting problem for all of you wizards out there. We are attempting to get KA9Q running on our 3B2 computer running System V version 3.0 (Gack!) and have almost everything working correctly. The notable exceptions are: 1) There are no pty lines in System V. From what I understand we should be able to use the sxt driver to create something that would work well enough but with the documentation that AT&T provided there is no way I see to do this. 2) FTP works fine for downloads but tends to crash when we try to do an upload. The error looks like a time out variant but I can't seem to trace it. We seem to be able to transfer about 4 kilobytes before the system dies!??! Any and all coments are invited.
