Thus I wish to set the ixon flag terminal setting for port. 1. There are printer capability flags in printcap which can be set for the l-flags and the c-flags. What I wish to know is whether there is a capability to set the i-flags in printcap file. 2. Not knowing how to set the ixon flag in the printcap, I tried to set it using the stty command. I enter the following "stty -f /dev/cuaa0 ixon". However when I tried to list the settings( stty -f /dev/cuaa0) it did not indicate any change. Indeed stty did not seem to set any flags on any ports. I checked to see if there were processes which were hogging the ports, however I could not identify any. What I am doing wrong? Secondly, where is the best place to intialize the port on startup? If anyone can answer these questions, please contact me. Edward Ing (edward.ing@utoronto.ca)
