screen is a multiplexing (text)window manager which you can run on the remote machine once you are logged in. screen itself does no remote connection, so I believe it's irrelevant here. I haven;t used minicom yet - I use cu(1), and now am looking at tip(1). But I don't think my problem is cu's or tip's problem. Also I would like to stay in base. > The default baud rate on alix boards is 38400 but can be changed in > cmos setup if you want (pressing S during memory test). I forgot whether 38400 was the default or I changed it to that, but at any rate (ha, pun) that's what is working from any (non-USB) serial port. So I speculate that my problem is with the ucom, not with the connecting software tools above.
