I use Linux to talk to my HandyBoard. I have written a couple of functions
(in plain C) to do so, and implemented a software handshake (even with low
speed PCs you have to do some sort of handshake). Of course, the merit is not
mine, I have mixed functions from people all over the net :-), but if someone
is interested I can send my code.
Regards,
Humberto

| I am writing a PC program to communicate with the Handyboard via its RJ11 jack using the serialio routines. On the Handyboard side, all we can do is poll the port, but what have people done on the PC side? It should be easy to just poll the port (...)
