Yes, it was a permission issue. After I added the user to the "dialout" group it worked fine. Thanks Peter for putting me on the right track.
That might be something that should be added to the Mb2hal documentation. (If there isn't something about it already there.) Todd Zuercher P.

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] Be sure links are safe. No, they are not. The old pc was running Ubuntu 10.04. (Because that was the last Linuxcnc distro that seemed work with this old pc and it's ISA IO card.) The new PC is running Debian 12 (installed using an ordinary Debian net install iso). The groups the user belongs to on the old PC are "adm, dialout, cdrom, plugdev, lpadmin, admin, and sambashare". The groups for the new PC are "cdrom, floppy, sudo, audio, dip, video, plugdev, users, netdev, lpadmin, and scanner" So, I'm not sure, to my unskilled eye, it would seem that "dialout" might be the most logical possible permission deficiency, but I'm not sure if "dip" might be an equivalent replacement for that.
