I wrote a small test program and I can read data off the master end of the
pty, but I get no notification when the slave changes port speed or other
parameters. I guess I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know
what. The source is at http://www.jmp.fi/~jmarin/koe.c, if someone has
the time and will to take a look.. thanks ;)
