Would it be possible to have a comBIOS option which disables the redirection and mutes the comBIOS output itself? I'd vastly prefer configuring everything to use the serial port, as that way it *knows* that it is using a baud-limited connection. (Of course, this may break stuff on other layers, I'm really not sure -- hence the question.) --Kyle _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
