According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STREAMS, ioctl() call with the I_PUSH command is needed to get into packet mode. in pty.c: InitPTY(), none of the ioctl() is reached for me. So, it never gets into packet mode. How does screen get into packet mode then? (I do not see any ioctl() with I_PUSH for screen) What is the expected/correct behavior here? thanks, Hiren
