I'm trying to get nonblocked input from the keyboard on the target PC.
That is /dev/ser2 correct?  When I use that device name in
cyg_io_lookup()
to get a handle, the system crashes. I assume that is because it is not
a
real serial device.  So am I out of luck, or should using /dev/ser2
work?

Thanks for all of your help.
