Card Terminal Driver Library

the status program usage is:

status /dev/ttyS1

If the program hangs indefinitely, I'd bet there's a serial port issue.

eg. did you use the correct serial port name? is the device properly connected to that serial port? Is some other program using the serial port at the same time, locking it?

here's what I get with an old AMEX Blue in the reader:

<pre>
[jaiger@station10 java]$ ../examples/status /dev/ttyS1
status= '0x1f' ( CARD_DETECT1 CARD_DETECT2 CARD_LOCKED TRACK1_PRESENT TRACK2_PRESENT)
</pre>
