This is my first posting.
Here I have a problem related with linux serial programming
in C.Hope u can help me in this.
I have a C program that communicates with a remote terminal
unit via serial port.The program uses termios structure to initialise
the port.
The program works as expected in kernel
version 2.4.2-2 on an i686 macine.
This same program when tested on a 586 (Kernel 2.2.14-12 on an i586)
machine fails to read the port properly.
Writing to the port was working properly.
The setserial and stty commands produced the same result on both machines.
Later i found that minicom(communicating with hyperterminal in windows) also
showed the same problem while reading the port on the 486 macine.
Writing to the port was working properly.
Communication was proper when hyperterminal was used on
both sides.
