Hi, James,

That seems to be the same as what I'm doing (except I'm using ttyAM1), but 
whatever I do, the read call appears to be blocking.  (The write is working 
okay.) I specifically open specifying non-blocking.  I'm also using the 
termConfigRaw routine supplied by Michael Schmidt which sets the following 
parameters:

newtio.c_cc[VTIME] = 0;  /* inter-character timer unused */
newtio.c_cc[VMIN] = 0;   /* nonblocking read */

I've used two separate programs, one which just opens the file for read, and 
one which outputs to ttyAM1, then goes into a tight-loop reading (which I'd 
adjust later once I found out how the input ACK/NACK from the controller board 
were coming back).  But both block on the first read.

If you have any suggestions, I'd be tickled pink.  Thanks for the time you've 
spent with me.
