Changes in serial port driving from 8.0 to 9.1 and 10.0- did the device drivers inside the kernels change?

Hello from Gregg C Levine Here's the facts. 1) A program which works on Slack 8.0, but does not send data through serial port of computer, when the same screen shows it starts on 9.1 and

10.0. Slack 8.0 used the 2.2.1x series of kernels. 9.1 and 10.0 used the 2.4.2x series of kernels.

2) The same program built using Cygwin, works on this machine, no matter what version of Slackware is also available.

This program was written to send data to a Sega Dreamcast via its serial port, for development purposes. So can anyone with more wisdom then mine remember if the device tables for the serial character drivers changed during the transistion between the releases?
