1. It detected the serial ;)
2. via a serial cable between two parties A/B, (A has Dockstation)
Sending data back and forth
One thing I've noticed (true for both the belkin and the keyspan
usb serial driver), when A is sending data
ie find . -ls > /dev/ttyUSB0
there's no flowcontrol for outgoing data.
Is this a known issue (if it is considered an issue)?
3. via gnokii (talks to Nokia phones using a serial cable via some
proprietary protocol)
a) use phone to make voice calls
b) read address list/messages from phone
c) setup pppd connection + some web browsing.
