I recognize this protocol... can't quite place what equipment it goes with though; are you perhaps doing blood gas analysis? The place I'd implement it would be in a user mode process and not in the kernel at all -- everything that you do in terms of line bidding, etc. is on the basis of in-band data only. Since there is no need for detailed control of line signals, a user space process is more than adequate, and better for file I/O for storing it off. I rememeber implementing this in a TERM script under SCO Xenix. 8-). Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
