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.
