Thanks for your response,
I red the tty(4) manpage, and a part of the tip(1) manpage
Now I know the difference between tty and cua devices.
I changed the configuration to tell open3600 to use /dev/cua00 instead
of /dev/tty00.
Unfortunately, the problem is still the same.

man 4 cua or man 4 tty
Then see the section about cua(4) devices.
And don't use tty's like that. That is what cua devices are for.
Connecting out.
I have a laptop at home which is an old dell latitude xpi p133 st. I use
it as a small server, running OpenBSD 3.7. I would like to have my weather
station connected to the laptop, serving the weather via http.
The weather station is a WS3600, racorded to the server via a serial cable.
The program I use to retrieve the info from the station is open3600
(http://open3600.fast-mail.nl).
To make it work under openbsd, I edited /etc/ttys and changed the line :
tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off
to :
tty00 none network on local
As open3600 is not available in binary form for OpenBSD, I compiled it.
I then configured it to retrieve the info from /dev/tty00.
Now when I launch the retrieval of the information, the command takes 30
seconds before outputing the result.
Each time I execute the command, it takes about 30 seconds, and sometimes
the output is right, sometimes it is totally wrong, indicating 0 values.
I would say I have 50% chance to get the good parameters.
The problem is not hardware, because I tried the command under Debian on
the same machine, and it retrieves the information with no problem, in
less than 2 seconds.
I think the problem is the configuration of the serial port under OpenBSD,
but my knowledge in serial devices is rather limited.
I ran 'stty -af /dev/tty00' under OpenBSD and 'stty -aF /dev/ttyS0' under
Debian and see the modes are a bit differents, but I did not manage to
change modes under OpenBSD.
'stty -af /dev/tty00' under OpenBSD:
speed 9600 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns;
lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl
-echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho -pendin -nokerninfo

'stty -aF /dev/ttyS0' under Debian:

I don't even know if the problem comes from here.
Any help, any reference, any advice is welcomed.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english
