I'll try to dig it up. The application for which I was trying to use ptys needed to communication modem control/status line state info between master and slave (as well as parity and word-length settings), so I abandoned ptys when I found they only implement a small subset of the icotl's that are defined for tty devices. I've proposed enhancing the Linux pty driver so that it can actually be used to simulate a serial port, but the proposal has been ignored so far. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
