You apparently haven't set up a forwarding e-mail address for tuxoide@users.sourceforge.net. So you sent me e-mail from an address which bounces. I can't find a valid e-mail address for you, so I'm posting this to this bboard in the hopes that you see it....

The following summary which was posted from a few years back might help you....
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Given the number of people who e-mailed me asking for any information,
I'm mailing this summary - I hope it's useful.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. BOOKS
There are a number of useful books that explain serial programming on
POSIX systems (such as Linux). The two that were most recommended were:
a) "Advanced programming in the Unix environment" by W R Stevens
(Published by Addison Wesley)
This is a classic text, and has two chapters worth reading: Chap. 11
(Terminal I/O) and chap. 18 (A Modem Dialer); basically a chapter of
theory with some small code examples and then a complete chapter of
serial code.
b) "POSIX programmer's guide: Writing portable Unix programs" by D
Lewine
(Published by O'Reilly)
Chapter 8 (Terminal I/O) is an excellent read, and comes complete with
annotated code for a small comms package.

2. ON-LINE RESOURCES
a) Doug Hughes' "Serial Port Programming":
http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/doug/serial.html.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. SOURCE CODE
a) A number of people recommended the mgetty+sendfax code, as it has a
reputation for being well structured and written
b) The Linux Programmer's Guide has an example program (miniterm.c),
written by Sven Goldt - this is a 130 line program that covers all
the basics quite succinctly
c) Niccolo Rigacci <fd131@cleveland.freenet.edu> sent me some code he
had
written to handle a voice modem (voice-0.3.tar.gz)
d) ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/scarabd-1.0.10.tgz is Alan Cox's
interface to a small radio modem, and contains useful routines for
twiddling the RTS line, and is also useful if you want to learn about
user-space device drivers and the like.
e) The "cu" program that comes with UUCP was also recommended
