Just FYI: /dev/ttyS* devices are numbered from 0, so /dev/com1 corresponds
to /dev/ttyS0...  Also, if you have a sequence of shell commands that
should work but don't (e.g., stty followed by echo followed by read/cat),
could you please post them, along with an equivalent program (whether perl
or C) that does work?
