What hooks are needed? I'll add them if I can. I've been considering
adding the following to the tty driver.
1) Sending a break by setting Baud to 0. (Should have been there in
the first place.)
2) Sending a SIGHUP on loss of DTR (or what ever the right control
signal is.)
3) Some way to detect an incomming break from a user program. I could
take the time to look it up, but I thought I'd just ask "how does
UNIX do this?" and see if any one already knows.
4) "Software" control of hardware handshaking by flags in the tty
minor device number.
Any thing else I should add?
-Phil
