Yes, I see this features ! It's ok transfert RTS/CTS
control. But I need to manualy control RTS/CTS or DSR
or DTR or CD on some device, I don't found this
feature
on termios.

Ok, I want to do this !! :-) But I don't found how
termios_ioctl will call my private driver ioctl
function.

Termios_icotl have a switch(command) :
case KnwonCommand1 :
case KnwonCommand2 :
case KnwonCommand3 :
default : Call line discipline ioctl function

So How can I do, that's what I don't understand and
found a solution to do this and use termios ?
