Howdy Carlo! Yes, there is a utility to manipulate the serial ports - it's called setserial. It's available of the Debian FTP server as: /debian/unstable/binary/base/setserial_2.12-4.deb
Once installed, check out the man page: man setserial Also, check out: /usr/doc/setserial/README > > Hello All: > > I have a PPro 200 system which I dual boot between Windows95 and > Debian Linux (most of the time!).
