[BRLTTY] combi braille (window braille?) in BRLTTY 5.0

[Henk Abma]

Hello Joakim,

it is connected to a real serial port. I am under the impression that 
trafic causes it to stop. If she leaves the console prompt waiting for 
hours, brltty is still there when she returns, however as soon as she 
performs an ls or nano command, brltty stops.

What would be a good commandline to try to get some logging?

With kind regards,

Henk.
