We have two program that work when used on console or a pty, but not when use on an asy serial port. One is emacs (M-x shell) configured with HAVE_SELECT and HAVE_PTYS. Both programs do a select (implmented with poll in -linet) on the tty and the master side of a pty. Both programs have the same problem: output from the master pty is not available until you give the tty some input. This looks like a bug in the asy driver, or possibly ptys or poll. The system crashed once in asyioctl(). Does anyone know if the fas driver will work? Does Interactive have a fix?
