I've been trying to run a linux software that controls a brazilian nobreak and it fails to initialize saying that a "lock operation" is not supported on that serial device. The software vendor doesn't release the code of its application, so I can't, nor I'm able to, look what is going on there. On the same machine, Linux runs it nicely, so that's a hint that indicates a imperfection in the Linux emulation module FreeBSD is running. There is a module for this hardware at "The Nut Project" ( http://www.exploits.org/nut/ ), but again it doesn't work. People who wrote it are unfamiliar with the *BSD world and just give me tips like " Are you sure the serial cable is correctly attached ...". The solution is, in my opinion, run the software on a FreeBSD box, instead of having a Linux just for doing this. Any idea of how do I get this working?
