What is the Real TTY driver for the NPort?
The Real TTY driver for the NPort allows a Linux PC to treat NPort serial ports as
local TTY ports. Similar to the Fixed TTY driver for UNIX PCs, a transparent data
tunnel is established to the NPort's serial port. However, the Real TTY driver also
supports IO control of the TTY port, such as setting the baudrate, pulling RTS/DTR
high, and checking line status for CTS, DSR, and DCD signals.
