BTW: Is it possible to use more than 2 COMs concurrently? I spent
3 hours on that, today. COM1 is used by the mouse, and COM2 by the
modem. I want to be the "console" of a router, so I configured the
unused port to be COM4, but it seems to have collision with IRQs.
One of about 10-20 characters is got, and the others lost. I did the
checks with minicom, but there must be something simpler for direct
communication, is there?
(I didn't forget to disable the agetty of the tty).
P.S. Stas! If anybody wants you to charge the *real* cost, you
should agree... by doubling the price!
I ordered 2 weeks ago the freeware OS, NetBSD, by FedEx, from
Infomagic. This "free" CD cost $35, +$37 for shipping, +81 NIS for
Flying Cargo (like in Sdom-VaAmora: this CD "layed" 80 hours in their
store in Lod, because Kfar-Saba was too far for them from Lod. The
way from Arizona to Lod took only 36 hours! So I had to pay for their
laziness!). Total cost was 340 NIS. Stas, don't be shamed, take more!
We are all (or at least me) in the back of you!
