What does the sys_errlist message 'Not a typewriter' *really* mean?? I am writing to a laserjet through an fd setup by dial(3C). When the laserjet exercises flow control and sends a DC3 its modem hangs up and my writes return the above message. Is this message meaningful? j d baker (AT&T BL HO 2D410) homxb!largo "I feel I shouldn't have to deal with this."
