Using 'cat' probably opens the port in buffered mode.. where the contents of
the buffer are not outputted until a \n is seen. I may not be correct about
this, but I have played around with writing some serial apps and doing the
same thing you are doing.. hooking up my multimeter to the serial port

So you tried with setserial, too ?
B.
I'm trying to setup a connection of an multimeter to ttyS0. It gives a steady
stream of lines to the port. (CONRAD VC96 for whom who knows)
When I use minicom for this, it works fine. The input is written on the sceen,
can be saved and so on. I can leave minicom with ^A^Q and then cat /dev/ttyS0
