Andrey A. Chernov ca9301398c This sl enhancement helps to keep serial line (modem) connection alive.
It is common case when modem hangs with carier on but don't
receive anything from another side.
This thing commonly healed with hangup and redialing.
Enhancements below allows to determine when such action
is needed and inform attach program with SIGURG signal.
There two ioctls set: outfill and keepalive, used from both
sides of connection. Outfill repeatedly sends FRAME_END with
specified timeout (i.e. 40 seconds). It is needed to get input on
other side even if no user activity on slip line currently.
Keepalive checks FRAME_ENDs from other side, and if no one
got in specified timeout (i.e. 60 seconds, max modem retrain time),
send SIGURG to attach program.
I plan to add code to slattach to handle this thing too.

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and        `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK!  Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!

If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen.  The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation!  Thanks!

Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys.  To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice.  Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.

For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.

For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase
the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association.

satisfied customers!

Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!

Bug reports should be sent using the `send-pr' utility, if you
were able to get the system installed, otherwise to:

Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away -
this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources
are often strained to the limit (if not somewhat past!).

Thanks!
