Steve,

I've sent you a copy of a porting file from our MODBUS library. It is a
bit too much to post here in its fullness. This is our own IP (LeoTel
Software Systems). Feel free to adapt if it works for you and use it in
any way you want.

Regards,

James

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.
