The software which comes which the Apollo SPE board should
create a couple of device files in the /dev directory (if
it has been installed on your node, that is!). They are:
/dev/spe_ddf_sio1 and /dev/spe_ddf_sio2 (or something like
that). You can open these devices just as if they where
(were) the regular /dev/siox lines. By the way, you are
aware that the DB25 connector on the DN3500 is wired to
handle 3 seperate RS232 devices, are you not? There is an
adaptor cable available from Apollo's 1-800 catalog which
gives you access to sio2 and sio3.
