I'd like to be able to change the stty settings for connections to [TCP] and [Telnet] and wonder if it'd be too difficult to add that ability?

The onus would be on the sysop to specify the correct parameters, of course. --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux

Are you referring to the POSIX `stty` utility program?

The `stty` system call (the programmatic interface that another program would be expected to use to "print or change terminal characters") is not supported in Linux:

NAME
afs_syscall, break, fattach, fdetach, ftime, getmsg, getpmsg, gtty, isastream, lock, madvise1, mpx, prof, profil, putmsg, putpmsg, security, stty, tuxcall, ulimit, vserver - unimplemented system calls

SYNOPSIS
Unimplemented system calls.

DESCRIPTION
These system calls are not implemented in the Linux kernel.

I'm not sure what exactly you want to *change* via stty, but check and see if those settings (whatever they are) are supported by the termios library functions (i.e. run 'man termios' and read up on them) and let me know which.

I'm looking at playing around with 7 and 8 data bits and even parity so things like CS7 CS8 PARENB and unsetting PARODD are what I would want to set so yes, if there's a way of passing parameters like those, that would work.

The stty command shows evenp is a cobination of cs7 parenb and -parodd

We already have the sexpots.ini settings:
- Parity
- ParityOdd
- ByteSize
- StopBits

which result in the proper calls to `tcsetattr()` on Unix. Have you already tried these?

This only applies to the [COM] section? There's nothing that says it will work in the [TCP] section.

I want to change the settings after the user has selected from a prompt of which host/service to connect to.

The com-port related settings can be used in the `[COM]` section and `[COM:key]` sections of the `sexpots.ini` file.

Ok got it. Is there a way in JS to display whatever the term settings are? Doesn't need to be as a formatted string, as long as I can figure it out some how.

In SBSS-JS on *nix, you could invoke `system.popen('stty')` and parse its output. Is that what you mean?
