I basically want to take control of one of the serial lines using a daemon process under FreeBSD. I'm fine with how to disassociate the process from a controlling terminal etc. but I'm unsure how to a) open the com port and b) read and write data, and I guess c) set it to various baud rates. I was also unsure on the correct /dev/ice to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I'm not currently subscribed either, so please return mail privately). -- Joe joe.shevland@horizonti.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
