- I need information on how to access one of the RS-232 ports on
- a SUN SPARCstation 1+. Pointers to books, articles, or sources
- greatly appreciated.
-
- Detail Info on the Problem:
- We are writing an ADA program that needs to communicate via a
- 9600 baud RS-232 link to a radio's Communication Module (ie RS-232
- driver/controller/interface).
-
- As I see it I need to code some sort of device driver to handle the
- input and output streams and act as an interface to the main ADA
- code. This device driver can be written in C and linked in with
- the main code. I have written IBM PC serial device drivers, so I
- have some knowledge of what needs to be done, but I can't seem to
- track down how to do the same thing on the SUN.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
