It's a PIX 520. Normally I talk to it with HyperTerminal using 96008N1. I can't get minicom to go ONLINE. I've tried using the -o switch to prevent it from trying to initialize a modem, I've turned off flow control, and I've removed all the modem init strings. No luck. I'm not sure what device to point it at, but I've tried tty0, /dev/tty0, and /dev/ttyS0, all to no avail. Nothing appears on the screen, and the lower right corner says OFFLINE. I tried creating a dialing entry, but it just keeps saying it failed to connect. I know I must be doing something wrong because the notebook computer is dual-boot, and it works fine under Windows.
Furthermore, when I exit minicom my console session is subtly hosed. When I hit Enter I only get line feed, not CR/LF. I have to logout and back in to make it work right. Sigh. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Moss [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 7:50 PM To: Robinson, Eric R.

I use minicom daily to access a variety of machines and devices via serial connections and it works great. If you tell me what the comm parameters for your device are, I can probably send you a minicom config file for it. _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
