I'm really too busy right now to look this code over in detail, but a quick scan failed to find any specific handling of the RI line from the activehome. I think this code polls the serial input every two seconds instead, which is what I suggest avoiding. For background the activehome expects that the PC may be turned off, and tries to get its attention via the RI line. I'm proposing that the proper solution is to attach RI to DCD, and use a signal catcher for SIGHUP to notice when the activehome has data instead of polling the activehome. When/if someone has time to read this code thru could they comment on how this issue is handled in the code? -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
