According to posts I've read here, this should work


Only if Tcl recognizes /dev/cuad0 as a serial port. If the ioctl() call
fails, you may get a misleading error message.


And I just noticed what I hadn't before...that the other serial port
config stuff is missing from the list above, too...so I think you've
just answered my question.... Now to figure out why such a simple thing
as accessing a serial port is failing (it does work from minicom, btw).

Oh well...maybe later...maybe not.

We had a similar discussion last year, unfortunately without
an obvious solution:
