Hi Dave, I think I wasn't able to state correctly my question in english :-) I don't need the specs for the TU58, I need to know how to program a serial interface under Unix. I have the TU58 User Manual, and it could be used as an example on how to write a PERFECT manual. Clean, with all the hardware specs, and also Pascal pseudocode on how to drive the TU58 :-) If you are wondering what I'm doing with the TU58, well, I use it (under M$-DOS, now) to program an industrial machine (sorry, don't know the english term for it).
