Andy,
Did you kill the getty running on the port?
Are you getting any errors?

Hello,
I've got a case where I'm writing a simply serial program to send bytes from
one system to another over a serial cable. The program works in Linux, but
when I use it in FreeBSD nothing happens. The program starts and, in the
case of receiving, waits for data to appear on the /dev/cuad1 port and times
out in select. If I'm sending in FreeBSD, the send program believes it has
written all the data but nothing is received in Linux (either with running
my code on Linux or using kermit). On FreeBSD, however, if I use kermit to
monitor the /dev/cuad1 port and send, using my code, from Linux, all 2500
packets are transmitted ok. Also, when sending from Linux and receiving in
FreeBSD, the FreeBSD machine show silo and tty-level interrupt errors. The
man page for sio describes that as problems in the interrupt handler, for
silo overflows, and that data arrived faster than the application could
process (for the tty-level overflows).
What am I doing wrong? What is it that Kermit does to allow data being read
from the /dev/cuad1 device that I'm not? I've been looking over the kermit
sources but to be honest, before Thursday of last week, I'd never programmed
for serial ports before let alone having any knowledge of termios.
Therefore, I'm looking at a very steep learning curve. Please look over my
ctor for the serial line class that is in my code. After much debugging,
I'm convinced that my problem is in how I'm configuring my port.
