I'm sorry Chris. Richard mentioned this process before. I was referring to
something more along the lines of installation problems, bugs, etc. though.
I did minicom-s and checked to see that serial port was /dev/ttyS1
As far as I can tell that is the port it is on as per:
[root@ /root]# setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0-9]
/dev/ttyS0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
So I enter minicom and get the string:
AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1 X4 &c1 E1 Q0
Then when I type AT, I get no response.
And that's the end of story.
I have to kill it after waiting 15 minutes. And I'm back where I started. BTW,
I don't have the manual.
