#ifdef ASIDE
Given that the handbook shows use of hex numbers, is there a
chance that historical usage allowed hex numbers, and any mods
should continue to allow hex numbers?  Or was the handbook just
plain wrong?
#endif /* ASIDE */

I believe you :-)

Can you tell me this: do you know if setting -opost and -onlcr
on the init and/or lock devices will prevent their having any
effect when specified in the printcap file?

In particular, will the sequence:

stty -f /dev/ttyld1 opost onlcr
stty -f /dev/ttyld1 -opost -onlcr

which *looks* like a noop (to illiterates like me),
in fact still allow printcap to
override the opost and onlcr values when lpd attempts to
configure the device?

If not, is the only way to get back to "normal" to reboot?
