Ok, but how do you get serial port drivers that run on the NeXT to talk to these devices? I admit that I don't have any experience with this. Do the general Unix hardware devices come with standard Unix source code that can be compiled on the NeXT? Or is it even simpler? Can you just open something like /dev/en0/port1 or something else? -- Brian Willoughby Software Design Engineer, BSEE NCSU BrianW@SoundS.WA.com Sound Consulting and Signal Processing Software NeXTmail welcome - NO EMAIL SOLICITATION without prior permission
