I got a bad null modem cable, but had a question about setting up minicom. How do I know which port (serial) is the DB9 connector on the motherboard?
output from setserial gives ...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# setserial /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# setserial /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# setserial /dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# setserial /dev/ttyS4 /dev/ttyS4, UART: unknown, Port: 0xffffffff, IRQ: 0
There is a modem in a PCI slot, but it doesn't show up in the hardware browser. Should it? Could this be ttyS0 or ttyS1 ?

Hi, I'm running RH 8.0 on an intel PC and want to use a serial port connection to a Sun Ultra 60 in order to configure/boot the sun for file server/web server in my home office. It's been about 10 years since I've done this and don't remember how, except that I used tip to connect over the seriel port ttys0 to the sun box. I don't see tip on the RH box. What should I use? Also, an even dumber question ... do I need a cross-over serial cable to make this setup work?
TIA, Dante
i use minicom to connect to my routers at work. i can't remember the exact command but you run minicom -s to setup your serial port, etc...
