Hi, I have a couple of really dumb devices that I use 'tip' to talk to. One is a Motorola 6811 microcontroller and the other is an old EEPROM burner. I find that 'tip' overflows these devices when I'm sending Motorola s-record and Intel Hex formatted files. It looks like tip's 'cdelay' and 'ldelay' features do just the trick. However, they are disabled, surrounded by '#ifdef notdef' sequences. Just to make sure, I re-enabled them locally, and re-implemented the apparently lost 'nap()' function to make sure that these features work for my application, and they do. My question is: does anyone remember why these were disabled in the first place? Is there an equivalent replacement feature that I can use instead to pace the outgoing characters so that I don't overrun dumb devices with no flow control?
