[Mono-dev] [Mono-list] serial port problem

[Mario Munda]

Hi

The example from the HowToSystemIOPorts 
(http://www.mono-project.com/HowToSystemIOPorts) doesn't work, for 
starters...

Transmiting part works ok, but not the receiving.

P.S.:
I use FreeBSD, and I'm sending data to /dev/cuad0.

Best Regards
