I'd like to use ttya on an SLC with the communications parameters of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. The ttya-mode field of the prom says that that's what I've got (9600,8,1,N,-), but all indications are that it's doing 7,E,1 instead. I'm just trying to hook up a printer, and my best evidence that it's actually doing 7,E,1 is that by connecting ttya to the serial port of a PC and running a comm program on the PC, I can cat a file on the Sun to /dev/ttya and it appears on the screen of the PC *if* the comm params on the PC are set to 7,E,1, but I get garbage if the comm params on the PC are set to 8,N,1. There doesn't seem to be anything like a ttya_use_baud flag on the SLC. What am I overlooking? Please respond by mail, as our news server's disks are usually full and it tends drop articles. ============================================================================= Hal N.
