Thinking about it some more, if the device is outputting binary, the
line buffering performed by the TTY driver and stdio will get in the
way. How about:

	stty raw < /dev/ttyUSB0
	dd if=/dev/ttyUSB0 bs=1 | od -t x1 -w1

Or, in C:

	int fd;
	struct termios t;

	fd = open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY);

	tcgetattr(fd, &t);
	cfmakeraw(&t);
	tcsetattr(fd, TCSANOW, &t);

	for (;;) {
		unsigned char buf[1];
		if (read(fd, buf, 1) <= 0)
			break;
		printf("%02x\n", *buf);
	}

	close(fd);
