The two programs at either end of a null modem cable must agree beforehand exactly what speed the line is to run at, otherwise neither will see what the other is sending. If you get parity, data bits,or stop bits wrong, you should at least see garbage. Oh, windows tends not to work the control lines according to RS-232, so you might need to set minicom to ignore Carrier Detect, by default I think it expects carrier detect to be on if something is at the other end, otherwise it shows a status of Offline and waits. stty(1) or termios(3) setting would be clocal/CLOCAL, sorry I don't remember the minicom setting and don't have minicom installed just now. Hardware flow control might not work right with a windows program either; null modem cables made for windows tend not to have those lines even present. You might need to turn off hardware flow control in minicom. > > > > What I would appreciate knowing is if I issue the commands you suggest will > > that change the operation of Kppp such that I can not then connect to the > > Internet. > > Yes it possably would, disregard what i said about /dev/modem. > > > > > > > Thanks > > Frank > > Lawson -- ---oops---
