Actually, what I had done was take the PD aux: driver (I don't recall off-hand who wrote/modified it) and made some changes to it to… 1) open the serial port in SHARED mode. 2) have it _not_ send out a read-request (or write-request for that matter) until it needed to. When 1.3 came out, they changed the official AUX: to open the device in SHARED mode, but it still sends out a read-request (of course, for the intended purpose, it needs to… so it can accept in-comming data). What I wanted to use it for was mostly outgoing re-direction, so I didn't want the read-request sent out. (I was using it for things like 1> type >aux: dh0:docfile ). The code I started with is here in AmigaTech in lib 9 if you're interested (I think it's "AUX1A.ARC" ).
