Eddie,

Thanks for the answer.
After setting the correct bit I get 0xC0 at base+3 which looks correct
to me.  But still I'm stucked somewhere.
I'm trying to connect COMA (RS232) through a blackbox convertor to 
COMC (RS485).  When I send on COMA using `cat` I see TX flashing but I
don't receive anything on COMC.  Trying to send on COMC using `cat`, I
don't receive anything on COMA.
Do you have anymore suggestion?

Kind regards,

wimpunk
