Joop, perhaps add to /usr/share/doc/tk2/README.Debian to close the bug: Q: My laptop has no serial port, I shall buy an USB-Serial adapter.
A: OK, but before leaving the store, be sure there is several volts DC on some of the RS232 pins, or else, as mentioned in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-*/Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt.gz "The hid->com adapter ... is incapable of raising line voltage properly," referring to e.g., "cypress 1-1.1.3:1.0: HID->COM RS232 Adapter converter", that means you probably won't be able to establish communications with the Serial-TTL interface you have made. Other adapters e.g., ID 0557:2008 ATEN International Co., Ltd UC-232A Serial Port [pl2303], worked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
