Hi Alan,

> Has anyone ported the tnet driver to Unix?

I did a bit of work on this a few months ago. It was fairly simple - it
just needed a new initialization routine, everything else worked. I only
tested it on Solaris. I can let you have the code.

However, I ran into a problem and never got back to it - so I never used
it with real hardware. I was always meaning to ask tech-talk about it, so
here goes.

Does anyone have a good set of routines for turning off line mode in a
standard Unix terminal driver (i.e. turning on the equivalent of the
VxWorks OPT_RAW mode). My problem with the tnetDrv code was that I
couldn't get the psuedo terminal to go into character mode. I looked
through all the ioctl codes on Solaris and couldn't find anything that
looked right, but on the other hand most of the standard communication
packages use character mode and so it obviously can be done - I just
couldn't find the codes. The answer must be bleeding obvious, but since I
have never done this sort of thing before, I got stuck.

So, can someone help me.

Cheers,

Nick Rees
