Strangely, com1 *does* work in the call to open. Having tried "/dev/ttyS0",
tcgetattr() works ok.
I also note that read() and write() work ok too using "com1", but
tcsetattr() also fails.
BTW, I obtained the CVS source, but couldn't find the _ioctl() call
anywhere in my (brief) grepping. Is there any documentation about internal
structure, and whats going on under the hood?
