problem in recieving information from a terminal device

I have a problem in recieving information from a terminal device (GPRS Globe TROTTER CARD).

I am able to connect to that device and able to send the commands through write command. when I send data to the device for the first time I am able to recieve the information but for the second and third time I am unable to recieve the data. I don't know why.

Here I am listing all the code I have written for this to work.

Code:


#include <termios.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/signal.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>

#define BAUDRATE B115200
#define MODEMDEVICE "/dev/ttyS17"
#define ENDMINITERM 2 /* ctrl-b to quit miniterm */

#define _POSIX_SOURCE 1 /* POSIX compliant source */

#define FALSE 0
#define TRUE 1

class Gprs_card
{
int fd1,c,n;
struct termios oldtio,newtio,oldstdtio,newstdtio;
struct sigaction sa;
char buffer[100],buf[50];
bool pin;

public :
void runModem();
void checkCard();
void checkGSM();
bool enterPin();
char *perform(char *command);
};

void Gprs_card::runModem()
{
checkCard();

fd1 = open(MODEMDEVICE, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY);
if (fd1 <0) {perror(MODEMDEVICE); exit(-1); }

pin=enterPin();

if (pin==true)
checkGSM();
}



void Gprs_card::checkCard()
{
int found=0;
system("cardctl ident > card.txt 2>&1");
ifstream infile("card.txt");

while (infile)
{
infile.getline(buffer,100);
if(strcmp(buffer," manfid: 0x0013, 0x0000")==0)
found++;
}

if (found>0)
cout<<"Hurray: GPRS Card Found"<<endl;
}

void Gprs_card::checkGSM()
{
char *command="at+creg?\r";
char *result;

cout<<"in Gsm"<<endl;
result=perform(command);

cout<<"GSM Network is not on"<<endl;

}

char *result;
