Serial Programming with Embedded Linux

Hi,
I use a Embedded Linux System to communicate to a Trinamic 351 Card via USB to RS232. Therefore I have been looking for several forums. The found listings gave me some example to connect via open(2), and do data transfer via read(2) and write(2). Since I just want to send and receive command bytes only, I configured the termio array in an non-canonical mode.
Indeed the programm is able to write commands to the card. But in the end, the read function will not receve any data from the buffer. Using an USB to USB connection or changing the termio array in an appropiate way did not solve the unability to read the buffer.

Maybe someone has an hint to get the problem solved.
Here's the source code:
