Re: Is it possible to force the serial port IRQ's?
Howdy Carlo!
Yes, there is a utility to manipulate the serial ports - it's called
setserial. It's available of the Debian FTP server as:
/debian/unstable/binary/base/setserial_2.12-4.deb
Once installed, check out the man page:
man setserial
Also, check out:
/usr/doc/setserial/README
