This posting is exclusively concerned with NetBSD-pc532,
it has also been copied to pc532@bungi.com for:
	1) folk (like Stuart ;-) that have not yet subscribed
	   to port-pc532@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu via  majordome@sun-lamp...
	2) minix/mach folk who are keeping an eye on NetBSD,
	   waiting to migrate :-)

I found how to defeat the above horror :-) My temporary cludge is this:
---

	--- new/src/sys/arch/pc532/dev/scn.c	Mon Jul 11 23:53:20 1994

	    int out_code;
	    int x;
	  
	+ #ifdef SURFER
	+ 	data_bits = LC_BITS8 ;
	+ 	parity = LC_NONE ;
	+ 	stop_bits = LC_STOP1 ;
	+ #endif
	    /* Get the speed codes. */
	    getspeedcode(in_speed,in_code);
	    getspeedcode(out_speed,out_code);
---
+ ident SURFER in sys/arch/pc532/conf/`hostname`

I freely admit this is a filthy cludge, but It Works !

Oh the pleasure & relief of being able to compile
my own custom kernel at last :-) :-)
I've not done this for the pc532 in years, since minix,
(I don't think I ever did with Mach,)

Now the stop bit bogey has been brutally shoved aside,
kermit to my main i486-freebsd works :-),
thus eliminating my need for the complex seyon, & restoring my file transfer 
ability (no tape yet).
At a line rate of 38K4, kermit seemed to shift ~22K/sec, that's OK.

One happy hacker :-)
