There is absolutely nothing 'odd' about the '7 wire', it is _the_ standard for bi-directional hardware flow control, in common usage for at least 25 years that I'm aware of. >The pl2303 driver was reverse engineered by looking at data from other >operating systems, so perhaps no one has added that mode to it. Humm, src code snooping time I guess, when I get a chance. Right now its a race against time to get us on the air with a fresher transmitter since I can no longer get 4-1000 tubes to service our old GE, and the ones in it are on their last month. So I'm outta here in a few minutes to go see if I can do a decent job of cutting 3.125" transmission lines on a 12" chop saw with a carbide blade. >good luck, > >greg k-h >- >To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" > in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
