i wasnt aware of that, and the posix docs dont seem to use this word in any of the function descriptions. i dont think it matters much though with the longer proposed option as it still means "the fd given to the *at funcs". if anything, it makes it clearer as you wouldnt interpret it to mean "use these other AT options when calling *at funcs". -mike
