-> If you try to read /dev/tcx0 on a SunOS 4.1.4 Sparc 20 (it didn't -> work on a 10; didn't have access to a Sparc 5, so I couldn't check -> that), you will cause a system panic. How do you read it, you ask? -> Simply "cat /dev/tcx0" or "ls /dev/tcx0/*". You don't need special Since we're speaking of devices: Ever tried the 'cat /dev/zero > /dev/keyboard' on a SunOS machine? :-) No special rights required. I didn't try it lately, but anything from a Sparc1 to a Sparc10 under SunOS is dead. -Walter
