I have tested the serial classes on Mac OS-X with a Sunix USB/serial adapter. When I connect to a Festo MTR-DCI motor, everything works fine. However, as soon as I try to connect to the PLC, the $serial->deviceOpen() hangs at fopen(serial port) for no obvious reason.
Strangely Mac Terminal or QuickTerm communicate fine with the PLC.

Hi,
could you solve the problem?
I aseem tohave a similar problem: deviceOpen hangs forever if I use any flow control other than "none" ("rts/cts" or "xon/xoff").
