Actually, the AUX is supposed to be a serial text device. It is one of the five standard streams taken from UNIX, and is supposed to be redirectible. the thing is, I have never (except for writing a device driver to take over DOS' (mis)handling of the device) been able to get it to go to anything other than com1:. Big problem. My modem is on Com1:. My serial terminal is on Com2:. Any help? Also, Is anyone else out there using a modem on Com1: with the debugging version of windows? I have noticed a strange thing when you use this setup. Windows debug *ALWAYS* (without fail) sets my modem to auto answer whenever it starts up. This is VERY ANNOYING. It means that I must physically disconnect the modem whenever I am not using it, or it will answer the phone for me. Nice of it, but its squeal is not as polite as I would like from an answering machine... -Dave David Giller ----- (rafetmad@oxy.edu) or (dgiller@oxy.edu) ------------ Box 134 "Some of us wake up -- others roll over."
