---- As written by John J. Cruz:
> 
> I'm converting an old C program that has successfully run on a XTPC. I
> wrote it in MS Quick C and used an external Serial Port Library. This
> program allowed me to interface with a Motorola 68HC11 evaluation board
> via the com2 serial port.  I now want to convert this MS C program to
> the Linux/Unix environment.
> 
> I lack detail information on using the device file for serial port 2.  I
> do know that I should use function ioctl to configured the port but do
> not know what parameters or range of values to use or for that matter
> what include files to use.  Can I use open() to read and write to
> port2?  Since Im using RH6.0, what is the correct nomenclature for com2
> port?
> 
> Can you folks recommend a source of practical information.
