Newbie problem

[Bahadir Karuv <bahkar@bcacademies.bergen.org>]

Hello All,

I am trying to have to computers communicate over the serial port.
The program below is modified from "Serial Programming Guide for Posix
operating Systems"
I am geting the following output when I send "Testing123" over the
serial port from the second computer


opened 3
just sent Hello
got back - Hello
just sent Hello
got back - HelloTesting123
just sent Hello
got back - Hello

First computer is getting the string echoed back to itself after it
sends "Hello".

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks and regards!
