correct me if i'm wrong , and fill in any gaps i might leave out. i'm
having problems doing this redirect thingy. i open a serial port, set the
settings to 19200 etc (sersettings cmd), then after the serial port is read
as if it were to receive something thru the serial port i do the redirect
thingy. but when i go to do something like sending and receiving data its
all garbaled in strange chars. what might i be forgetting or messing up?
