You probably need to use fcntl() to turn off the O_NDELAY before
trying to use the port (set CLOCAL first if you need it).  Write()s
don't wait for the hardware to be ready if you leave O_NDELAY
set and strange things happen.  I have seen code that indicated that
a close(open(/dev/ttywhatever,2) was needed to force the mode to
changed.  Does anyone know which versions of unix require this?
