Thanks for the tip on reset. I'll try that when I'm in the office tomorrow.
I've been playing with cu, but it's not showing me any love either. I'm just a big Linux loser. :-/ -----Original Message----- From: Mark C.

I'm a bit excited to discover cu, it works just as I want it to, even though it appears to lack scripting/logging like minicom. There is probably a unixy way to work around this deficiency, however. -- Mark C.
