I have enabled getty and tested it successfully, it works just as it
should. So I guess it's a software issue. Unfortunately I don't know
where to begin... I added a call to read on exit, and it prints out
the strings sent from the laptop, so they ARE being recieved by the
ts, there's just no SIGIO being generated. I tried using select() to
poll for incoming data instead of the SIGIO/boolean combination from
the howto, but that doesn't work either, though I'm not 100% sure I'm
using it correctly. Anyone have a starting point or idea?
