Comment (by ttcoder):
Sounds like cat et al. are not as device-friendly in BeOS as they are in
Haiku.. I remember trying cat (alone, without stty even) in Haiku and
having success accessing the serial device at Dane's.. Though the second
call would be better off using the "echo" command rather than cat, since
in write mode the cat command will just sit there waiting for the user, so
rather something like..
{{{ stty 9600 -parenb -cstopb cs8 ; echo "teststring" > /dev/ports/serial1
}}}
But if reading won't work, the above probably won't work either.
Re. not losing the contents of SerialConnect in case of a power failure,
maybe (probably?) that window allows access to scripts and the "hey"
command, in which case it's easy to write a script that captures the
window contents every 10 seconds and writes it to a file.. Get in touch
with Dane @ TT systems if interested.
