A plain old serial cable should work fine assuming the line settings are correct. What are the specs for the serial port on the Soekris board? Are you sure you have the flow control, data bits, stop bits, parity and speed set properly? Also, you may find that kermit is easier to use than tip. I've been using it to interface with my Denon AVR2805 receiver and it works great. My guess is that you have the flow control set improperly. Sometimes the correct setting isn't documented, so you'll have to experiment. -Damian
