Subject: [Xastir] Serial tnc and Prolific USB adaptor
Hi Alljust upgraded my Linux Ubuntu box
If I have trouble locating the USB serial adapter I open a shell, tail -f
/var/log/syslog | grep usb then plug it in and watch for the output.

You answered your own question - it's using ttyUSB0, not ttyS0.
ttySn is for hardware serial ports. ttyUSBSn is for USB/rs232 adapter
serial ports.

David,
I use a Prolific USB to serial adapter with my KPC3+ and it works very
well in Xastir for me. I run Xastir on Fedora and CentOS.
Couple things to watch:
1 - bring up a terminal shell
2 - put the USB adapter in a USB port
3 - as root, type: dmesg enter
4 - near the end of all the lines
Hi Tate.dmesg showed it as /dev/ttyUSB0
i used Cutecom instead of Minicom..easier to use and set /dev/ttyUSB0 1200bd
and started to get packets showing
went to Xastir and set the TNC config up and its now working
Thanks for all the help everybody
