It is certainly not clear in the documentation. That's one of my biggest time wasters with linux is the ambiguity of documentation. A clear usage example would go a LONG WAYS in helping in the man page. Maybe someday I will know enough to make some of those updates, make the diff patch and send it off to the maintainer to get it ignored. >> Probably because you didn't mess with the baud_base. I believe you may be correct, a quick grep of my .bash_history showed no setserial on that line. >> > >> > The cable pin out is db9: >> > >> > 2 -- 3 >> > 3 -- 2 >> > 4 -- 6+1 >> > 5 -- 5 >> > 6+1 -- 4 >> > 7 -- 8 >> > 8 -- 7 >> > >> > >> > On windows I am using Terra Term Pro, a freeware serial/telnet client. >> I have no flow control selected and 9600 8 n 1 as my settings. >> > >> > On linux I have used term with term /dev/ttyS00 9600 8 n 1 >> > I have used od -v /dev/ttyS00 >> > I have used stty -F /dev/ttyS00 raw -echo 9600 ; cat /dev/ttyS00 > >> /tmp/0.txt >> > >> What do you have against minicom or cu?
