HELP: Cannot write but not read from serial


Hi everyone,

I have a big and urgent problem with Cygwin (or my Unix knowledge):

I try to read and write data to&from the serial interface (COM1). Writing works perfect with:

ls > COM1

But when trying to read with:

cat < COM1

nothing happens. I have set the correct baudrate with stty and don't know what to try more.... I've also tied to play with other parameters like -icanon, etc.

My setup is:

- Windows 98
- Cygwin 1.3.10

The cable is ok, it works with windows terminal programs.

Any ideas? I'm close to giving up...
