So... Does anyone else out there have an AST card?  If you are and
you're running the latest com.c (v1.60), please let me know!  If you
could try putting 'logitech' in for your pointer protocol, and let me
know what happens...

I have been having some flakiness with a Mac IIci connected to my AST/4
via null-modem... I figured it was the mac.. :-)  Combined with my
mouse problems, I'm starting to suspect..
The problem on the mac is having to hit 'ctrl-c' or send a break to get
any output, it just sits there otherwise.  Also, if I do manage to get
logged in, 'logout' will often leave the shell 'hung.'
Like this:
242 03- IEs+   00:00.32 -csh (csh)

I have to reboot to clear this up.  I'll try a normal serial card with
my mouse and the mac, and report back.

Thanks!
