I didn't know you were writing code. If so I would have responded with
the appropriate functions. In the old days, we used to use breakout
boxes that would indicate what the pins were doing. I don't think I
have mine any more.=20
You could go into the sources for the serial driver currently loaded
and see what it is doing. I have not done any serial progamming in over
10 years, but in the past I did remember having to use a different
serial driver for the satellite comm system I wrote. I think that David
Kramer still has his breakout box.=20
