A/UX: How to Access the Serial Ports (8/94)


How do you refer to the serial ports in A/UX? (For example, if a modem is
attached to the Macintosh.)

You can access the serial ports through a number of different methods:

- A/UX supports the calls to the Macintosh serial driver (it will not
arbitrate between applications trying to use the serial port at the
same time).

- A/UX also supports the Communications Toolbox.

- Finally, A/UX supports standard UNIX calls to the serial port.
