Hi all,

Can someone settle an argument for me :)  

We run FreeBSD 2.1-stable on our dialin box with 38 ports using a
4 port card and 2 cy16 cards.

We run all our ports locked at 38400 for a number of reasons.

We run mgetty on the ports and its going well with a couple of
minor irritations like sliplogin hanging around after line drops
sometimes.

We've setup the ports like so:

------
snip from /etc/rc.serial

comcontrol /dev/ttyd0 dtrwait 100 drainwait 180
comcontrol /dev/ttyd1 dtrwait 100 drainwait 180
comcontrol /dev/ttyd2 dtrwait 100 drainwait 180
comcontrol /dev/ttyd3 dtrwait 100 drainwait 180
comcontrol /dev/ttyd4 dtrwait 100 drainwait 180
comcontrol /dev/ttyd5 dtrwait 100 drainwait 180

for u in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f
do
	comcontrol /dev/ttyc$u dtrwait 100 drainwait 180
	stty -f /dev/ttyic$u hupcl crtscts -clocal 38400
	stty -f /dev/ttylc$u hupcl crtscts -clocal 38400
	stty -f /dev/cuaic$u hupcl crtscts -clocal 38400
	stty -f /dev/cualc$u hupcl crtscts -clocal 38400
done

-----------

I've been told that the lock-state device needs to be set clocal
and not -clocal.

Is this true and if so why?

ciao
dave
