I just can't figure it out...
Here is the code of the part that does not work.

signal(SIGALRM,alarm_handler); /* set signal handler
*/
alarm(TIMOUT);		       /* set alarm */
while(mesan!=SET){
    if(progopt==SET)	printf("<");
    charsin=read(f3,anmes,256); /* read message + \n
*/
	if(anmes[2]=='0'&&anmes[3]=='1')
	mesan=SET; /* message is ack/nak message */
}
alarm(0);		/* reset alarm */
signal(SIGALRM,SIG_DFL); /* reset signal handler */

For some strange reason my program just locks on the
read(), and then nothing works anymore (not even the
signal and alarm).
Does anybody have a clue???
The program should try to read an ACK/NACK from the
serial port and if it did not read anything within 10
secs, it should trigger the alarm.
Please help me with this, I don't know what to do
anymore.

Roland
