Re: RH 8, modem, serial port and minicom questions

[Dante Bell]

Hi Srini,

I setup minicom to no h/w or s/w flow control 9600 8N1 which is what the ultra needs.  I deleted all the modem control strings and have tried the other /dev/ttyS[0-2] ports and nothing works including the modem, which is on /dev/ttyS2.

Any ideas?  I'll check the pinout on the cable tomorrow.

Thanks for you help,
Dante

Hi Dante,

Have you tried to play with other "serial port settings" on Minicom? I have RH 
7.3 on one machine and RH8.0 on other machine. I can communicate with a 
MPC850 evaluation board from both hosts. I am using a cross over cable (PC to 
PC communication cable). I had to turn off the HW and SW flow control for the 
communication to function. Also, you will have to ensure baud rate, parity, 
databits and stop bits are all matching on both sides. If you still have some 
difficulties please send me an email and I will share my limited knowledge 
with you.

Best of luck

Srini
