With the advice given to me so far, I have been able to accomplish the following: echo 'Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of your country' >/dev/dtlk now works. My original gcc program to send text data to the Doubletalk now functions. My Xchat plugin should work now. It comes down to knowing the proper arguments to mknod, and also the proper order of doing things. I would still love to learn how to directly access the ISA card just to prove I can do it. SeLinux apparently was never an issue.
