Hi,

I'd like to create a program that streams data between the PC and the
playstation via the serial port (preferably asynchronously), by firstly
downloading the playstation app via siocons (or PScomUtil), executing it,
then shutting down siocons and taking control of the serial port for my own
use. So far I've not had much luck, I can send and receive data to siocons,
but when I shut it down and run my own PC app I get nothing from the
playstation, nor is any data sent received.

If someone more knowledgeable than myself could give me a few pointers as
to where to start, and also a few examples of how to use ioctl() I would be
extremely grateful.

Cheers,

	Pete
