   Humble Pie:

	I more or less ragged on HP about the IPC a few weeks back & I
  would like to make amends. I have had the pleasure of using one for a 
  week or so (512 memory board, single floppy) & by God it is real Unix!
 The disk swapping is a bit of a pain but the fcc compiler works fine
 & the printer is nice & quiet so I can work late while infants sleep.
	I regularly use several mice(meese?) & I find the HP mouse actually
 the nicest. The whole setup with plasma display & a nice keyboard* etc.
 really is a 'pro tool'. (& 20 month old Kathryn likes to make 'stars &
 circles, daddy', too). 

  Questions:

      Ken Bronstein said he had a minimal kermit for the IPC - could I
  get a copy?(BTW - the vt100 emulator works fine - compiled on floppy
  compiler without a wimper-thanks- presently adding bells & whistles)

      stty- I can't seem to grok getting the baud rate change to work -
  just what is the right syntax?(Is there a lock file or some flag that
  would keep the change from taking place?) I would like to access it
  directly & from inside a program. Using stty as on another system
  doesn't seem to get it done but there are no error messages.


     lp - is there actually a filter for the laser printer or do all the
  escape codes need to be in the file?

 * we just got some HP 9000's & I see the keyboard is essentially the same-
   I was impressed.
