Patch Name: PHNE_1440 Patch Description: Newest update to the S700 tty subsystem for HP-UX 8.07. 5003-070854: When RTS/CTS flow control is enabled via the device file minor number, it wasn't possible to identify the device file after "ps -ef", "who", and/or "tty" was executed. The device file ownership would not change to the user login name. This patch corrects these problems. 5003-034140 : Data loss occurred at 38K baud or greater when RTS/CTS hardware flowcontrol was enabled. This previous implementation of RTS/CTS hardware handshake protects the hardware (input FIFO) and not the software (mux driver). This patch was developed to protect the software as well. Thus, preventing the loss of data at high baud rates. (The S700 supports inbound data rates up to 230.4K baud with no data loss using h/w flowcontrol.) 4701-086843 : Serial driver would occassionally lose inbound data, one byte at a time, at baud rates of 38.4K and above was fixed. 5003-042887 : This fix prevents a system panic when 'stty cr2 nl1' are executed. 5000-668442 : This fix gave the user more flexibility in configuring the series 700 serial port's response to the XOFF character by selecting a particular trigger level. The trigger level on the built-in serial port is controlled through two bits in the minor number of the device file. 4701-088625 : Data transmission resumes on a flow controlled port (XOFF'ed) when ioctl(TCSETA) call. 4701-092569 : At high baud rates, the delimiter count is not tracked correctly in the line discipline. This causes canonical reads to not be terminated by the new line character. 4701-092908 : Resolved a one to twelve bytes data loss problem in 5 megabyte transfers.

Note: Please back up your system before you patch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHNE_1440). To install this patch do the following: 1) Run /etc/update (Note: you must be logged in as root to update a system). 2) Once in the update "Main Menu" move the highlighted line to "Change Source or Destination ->" and press "Return" or "Select Item". 3) Make sure the highlighted item in the "Change Source or Destination" window is "From Tape Device to Local System ...", then press "Return" or "Select Item". 4) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window. Change the "Source: /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHNE_1440.updt" (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHNE_1440.updt has been placed). Note: You must enter the complete path name. 5) Press "Done". 6) From here on follow the standard directions for update. The customized script that update runs will move the original software to /system/PHNE_1440/orig. HP recommends keeping this software there in order to recover from any potential problems. It is also recommended that you move the PHNE_1440.text file to /system/PHNE_1440 to be retained for future reference. If you wish to put this patch on a magnetic tape and update from the tape drive, dd a copy of the patch to the tape drive. As an example the following will create a copy of the patch that update can read: dd if=PHNE_1440.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
