RXTX: channel.write() does not work while context.write() does

[jeje]

When using the RXTX client example, I'm able to run it fine when the context is used in order to write a message (like done in the RxtxClientHandler.channelActive() method).

But if I try to use the channel itself in order to write the message, this does not seem to work.
For clarification, by does not work, I mean that the program behaves as if no message was written.

My test is based on the actual RXTX client where I've commented the channelActive() method and where I've added the following line: f.channel().write("AT\n"); right after ChannelFuture f = b.connect().sync();

If needed I can provide an Arduino sketch responding to the RXTX client in order to ease testing.
