What I was hoping for a way the serial port could attach to a tty code allowing callbacks for reading, write, ioctl. This would allow a single interface for code wanting a tty driver style interface. I did not see any way for this to happen. Did I overlook something. I was hoping that the code was broken into 2 logical parts tty driver code and raw character device code. With this split I could add the serial port code to tty code. The pty code then be just anyother device with input/output half connected. Is this the direction that thing are moving but I do not see it or are them moveing in a different path. I would think that console, serial ports, Print Port, and pty would be sharing upper level of code. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
