8 dial_out -raw translates LFs typed by the user into CRs transmitted
9 down the comm line. It's difficult to transmit a raw LF.
10
11 22 phx18903
12 "quit" mode should imply tty_ "^hndlquit" mode.

14 21 phx18645
15 dial_out raw mode doesn't work in the Video System.

17 19 phx18127
18 A recursive invocation of "dial_out -profile X" will terminate
19 X.profile too many times, causing the outer invocation to fault. This
20 error also affects non-recursive uses of dial_out when the profile
21 being used is also being used by another application e.g. the default
22 command processor profile if the dial_out user just specifies -abbrev
23 and lets the profile default.

25 18 phx17769
26 The terminal type specified with dial_out -ttp should be uppercased
27 before the set_term_type control order is issued.
28
29 16 phx15559
30 If using "quit" mode, then any error returned while sending the
31 interrupt because of hitting BREAK causes dial_out to abort the entire
32 invocation.

34 15 phx16761 phx19733 phx20154
35 If there is a syntax error in the "-modes" parameter, random errors,
36 and sometimes fatal process errors, can occur. This is because the
37 cleanup handler restores the cl_intermediary, even though the variable
38 used to save the cl_intermediary has not been set.
39
40 8 phx16403
41 If you suspend dial_out, change your tty modes, and then start up the
42 dial_out, when you later exit dial_out your modes will be back the way
43 they were when you started dial_out initially.

45 7 phx16150
46 The send_file request faults if the pathname argument is not given.
47
48 5 phx16304
49 The wait request doesn't always clean up its timer.

51 3 phx16306
52 The "quit" and "interrupt" requests do not complain if given arguments,
53 although they ignore them.
