   Thanks to everyone for their advice.  I have found that the
best way to talk to the port is to open it using 'open' and send
bytes using 'write' and 'read'.  It only took a few minutes of
toying with 'ioctl' calls to get the port configured properly.

   I now have a nifty file server system which downloads S-records
with checksum testing from a SPARCStation to my board.  The code
is applicable to other UNIX systems.  This is the only software
I am running on my board at the moment.  I suppose now I have to
write an operating system...
