hi guys,
sorry for flooding then, for i in {1..15}; do setserial /dev/modem $i;
minicom; done revealed that it is running not off irq 3, but off irq 2.
weird. when connecting, /proc/interrupts reports the serial driver to
use irq 9. oh well, it works...thanks though if you spent even a second reading my post. martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- don't hate yourself in the morning -- sleep till noon.
