I dont fully understand all this yet, but I have a suspicion the hangs in the TSI driver actually come from the TSI driver directly making use of gettimeofday(). I am not sure changing asyncWait() would help aynthing at all with the particular problem I reported above. -- CYa, Mario _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
