The "Update X5" for the 2.0.2 asy driver resolves all of my complaints with
the 2.0.2 driver. It seems to be a good piece of work. Of course, it is
not completely perfect (nothing, esp. my own work, ever is):
-it is not evident how to tell it to do RTS/CTS. The rest of 2.0.2 at 20MHz
seems fast enough to not need it for 1-2 ports at 19.2, but it would be
comforting.
-sometimes, opening a port connnected to a TB+ with NDELAY generates what
seems to be a spurious SIGHUP or -1 on the 1st read(2) ("line lost" from
cu & uucico). Adding \M and \m to Dialers fixes the symptom.
-perverse games with crazy terminals (e.g. echo loops) can make an asy port
and all active vt ports dead. Halting the craziness makes the vt's come
back, altho the shells have been killed. (too many clists gobbled by
the asy driver?)
