Thank You ....
I have tried every board listed, and the only one that gives me some cooperation with the uploader is the
arduino Duemilanove. This was suggested by another list member a few days ago. I'm using the UNO R3 (clone?)
from China. He said he had this same board and it worked well with this hoice
The only ports available to me are ttyS0, and ttyUSB0.
Neither of these will allow the programmer to receive....
More info... after the code.
Arduino: 1.8.5 (Linux), Board: "Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila, ATmega328P"

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
When using the Mega 2560, I did choose that board and neither ttyS0, or ttyUSB0 reacted any differently.
I've been working on this issue, and researching the web, for the past 3 days.
I wanted to see if I could resolve this myself, prior to asking for help.
Obviously that didn't work out too well....
