If I plug it into a Windoze machine and run any ordinary terminal program I can talk to it without incident. If I attempt to do the same thing on my FreeBSD machine nothing happens -- I receive characters from it but characters I try to send to it are lost in space. The only clue I have is that it appears when it first sends a character to the serial port the computer is sending some response back, and that causes it to hang. Ideas? I've banged my head against the wall for a couple of days. -- Michael D.
