But if this creates an outcry, we could use ioctls. Just as a side remark (others have already pointed you to markm's work): the FreeBSD way to let shell scripts use ioctl's to control devices is through *control(8) programs. Though yes, sending ASCII commands is not a bad idea, either :) G'luck, Peter -- If the meanings of 'true' and 'false' were switched, then this sentence wouldn't be false.
