I'm running netbsd on an intel 810 board, and I'm having problems setting 
up the serial port to send data.  The device I'm sending to will not be 
sending any data back, or even acknowledging the connection.  It's attached 
to /dev/tty00  I've tried to use stty to set the speed, etc. but to no 
avail.  If I type:

stty -f /dev/ttys00 19200

it appears to set the speed (stty does not report any error) but a 
subsequent:

stty -a -f ./dev/tty00

tells me that the speed actually has not been changed!  However, if I set 
up tty00 in /etc/remote like so:

com0:dv=/dev/tty00:br#19200:dc:hf:pa=none:hd:

and then do "tip com0" the connection opens at the correct speed and the 
data I type gets sent.  What am I doing wrong with stty?

Thanks,
Dan
