I've gotten it to work, at least for a couple of tests. If I use the gtkterm GUI terminal program, after a bit of fussing with the line termination it works. And, Hal Murray's sample probe.c program works fine. But minicom and picocom, and my Perl script, don't. I think the problem is most likely with the requirement for putting a linefeed at the end of each transmission. I *think* I'm doing that, but there's something there that's not working properly.
