If I start dosemu -s with this: > $_ports = "fast range 0x3F8,0x3FF" > $_irqpassing = "4" A speed of 57600 looks fast, like it should be. But if I omit the direct hardware access, and try this: > $_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0 irq 4" 57600 still works, but looks much slower on the remote side of a null modem cable. Seems like I read where the code traps serial port writes and buffers data to /dev/ttyS0. Is the trapping causing the slowdown? Is there a cure? I don't want to use direct hardware access. I tested it that way, only to see how things work. I'm using the latest dosemu svn code. I first tried a 2.6.32 kernel on arch linux, but got a kernel panic, then tried a suse 2.6.11 kernel, and got these results. Both were i386 only, never x86_64. -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
