On windows, no idea. On linux: as root (or sudo) stty -a -F /dev/ttyS0 will tell you how the serial port is configured. "man stty" will help reconfiguring. Probably you won't want 2400 baud and probably the flow control will not be what you want. Its possible you're using a USB serial port, which will probably have a device name something like /dev/ttyUSB0 google for "simh stty" for quite a lot of discussion. Then its as simple as attaching /dev/ttyS0 to PTR and PTP, just like you'd attach a file... You can also connect line printers to LPT this way. Best of Luck! _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
